to paint the earth!

one of my very special friends, jonathan, wrote the music for an amazing, amazing play that i got the chance years ago to attend a reading/singing for. it takes place during the holocaust era and it is absolutely brilliant! the music is simple on the surface but layered with gorgeously complex melodies and magically original vocal arrangements....please if you get a chance....go and see it! it is going to be phenomenal!!! here's a little note from jonathan himself and the dates and times for the showing.

To Paint the Earth
Music by Jonathan Portera . Book and Lyrics by Daniel F. Levin .
Directed by Michael Bush
Inspired by first-hand accounts of the Jewish Underground in the Warsaw Ghetto, To Paint the Earth tells a fictional account of the resisters and their families, exploring how a broken community was brought to one of history's most stunning and inexplicable decisions--to fight a last battle they had no chance of winning.
