‘The Theory of Relativity’

MONTICELLO, NY and ONLINE — Students of the Monticello Central School District will perform the musical “The Theory of Relativity.”

A press release states, “This collection of stories within songs mirrors our narratives of home, family, love, loss and, finally, connection. Although this musical will appear to be a simple song cycle, it explores the relationships between the actors, which are revealed at the end to be reflective of our own travels through life.”

This musical was assembled with both live and remote recordings. It will be released for viewing online on Friday and Saturday, March 19 and 20, at 7:30 p.m. It is offered through the streaming platform “Showtix4u” in cooperation with Music Theatre International. The public will be allowed to reserve a viewing ticket, free of charge, starting March 15.
