THE AMERICAN DREAM -- a musical based on the first Latina photographer in the White House
New Musicals Inc. is proud to launch a new episode of SO PROUDLY WE HAILED, the musical webseries honoring veterans in their own words. "The American Dream" is a musical based on the service of Brenda Garcia, first Latina personal videographer to two Presidents.
By Brenda Garcia. Book and lyrics by Amy Andrews; music by Isabel Guzman. Dramaturged by Dana A. Iannuzzi, directed by Claudia Duran, and featuring Stephanie Rojo.
For this webseries, New Musicals Inc. has paired veteran honorees with an artistic team comprised of a composer, lyricist, director, and dramaturg, and then helped to shape their story into a short musical retelling in a digital platform.
This project is hosted by New Musicals Inc.
This activity is supported in part by generous grants from: the Helen and Jose Colton Foundation; the Peter Glenville Foundation; the Anonymous Fund (Marin County); and the California Arts Council, a state agency.
