Sunday Stages Theatre Company, an up-and-coming theatre company based in Rochester, NY, has announced 35mm: A Musical Exhibition as their debut production. Performances will be held at the School of the Arts Black Box Theatre on Thursday, Sept. 14 at 5:30 p.m. and Friday, Sept. 15 at 7:00 p.m. Tickets are now available for $15 at Click Here, where more information is also available. Both performances will be ASL interpreted by a licensed interpreter. The content of the show is best suited for people aged 16+.

35mm: A Musical Exhibition is written by Richard Rogers Award winner Ryan Scott Oliver. He collaborated with photographer, Matthew Murphy, to create a piece of theatre that combines many artistic disciplines such as musical theatre, photography, and pop/rock music. The piece includes thematic elements covering the LGTBQ+ community, domestic abuse awareness, while also remaining upbeat and bringing humanity to those topics.

Stevie Burggraaf, co-director for the production, is delighted to be working on this production, “35mm beautifully weaves emotion and art together using photography and music. I believe everyone who sees the show will have something to connect with.” The staging will be non-traditional, with seating throughout the space. “We want the space to feel like you’re walking through a museum, until some of the patrons just happen to break into song,” says Tiffany Thompson, Costume Design and Property Manager.
