SUMMARY:Oberlin's New Music Theater Program Presents Its First Show
DESCRIPTION:\nWed 12/3-Sun 12/7\nTue 12/9 and Wed 12/10\nIt was big news wh
 en the staff who created Baldwin Wallace University’s nationally acclaim
 ed music theatre program decamped for parts west — Oberlin College\, spe
 cifically — to start up a new music theater program there. It’s headed
  by Victoria Bussert\, who led the BW program\, and who has directed more 
 than 500 productions locally\, across the country and globally.\nIt’s th
 e first season for the program\, and it’s about to present its first sho
 w\, with Bussert directing\, and assistant professors Matthew Webb (music 
 director) and Alex Sanchez (choreographer) working with her to mount the s
 how. The show Natasha\, Pierre &amp\; the Great Comet of 1812\, which debu
 ted in 2012 and ran for nearly a year on Broadway in 2016-17.\nThe sung-th
 rough “electropop opera\,” written and composed by Dave Malloy\, has s
 ome unusual source material: a 70-page section of Leo Tolstoy’s weighty 
 novel War and Peace\, published in 186\, dealing with romantic complicatio
 ns of multiple characters. It’s got a lot of meaty roles for the young a
 ctors to sink their teeth into.\nThe show will run for eight performances 
 in the Wurtzel Theater on campus. Go here for tickets and information.\n[m
