Songs for a New World

Few composers in the past 25 years have had a greater influence on musical theater than the gifted Jason Robert Brown, whose rhythmically complicated, pop-flavored songs have earned him an enthusiastic following. In the first offering of this summer's Encores! Off Center series, Shoshana Bean, Colin Donnell, Mykal Kilgore and Solea Pfeiffer perform his 1995 debut revue. Kate Whoriskey directs.
