"Somewhere in Prague" - Polyphone 2016
Polyphone Festival Returns
for a Third Year
'Festival of the Emerging Musical' to present
four new musicals; performances will blur the boundary between concert and musical

UArts' Ira Brind School of Theater Arts presents year three of  Polyphone,
a "festival of the emerging musical" at UArts in Philadelphia, March 28 - April 1, 2017. The
Polyphone festival will continue to challenge audiences with the question "What is a musical?" Each new work presented at Polyphone  is stripped down to an off-book, staged concert with a full band, inviting audiences into the evolution of how musicals are made. The festival brings together artists-in-training, emerging composers, librettists, choreographers, and directors developing new works to present four musicals over five days. 

Reservations for tickets will be available beginning on March 13 at tickets.uarts.edu.
