Program Title: Wake Up!

A crowd favorite, Wake Up! tells the classic story of a young girl and the monsters who live under the bed. The opening movement of Evanescence’s “Bring Me To Life” provides a dissonant and ominous atmosphere that represents the beginning of the monster’s haunting. The iconic 90’s tune from the Pixies, “Where Is My Mind?” gives our young character space to slow down and contemplate her sanity. Are the monsters around us even real? Or is it all just in our heads? “After Dark” by popular internet artist Mr. Kitty slowly builds in, just as our character falls asleep, and the monster emerges to dance in the darkness of the night. Original music by Jeff Chambers is mashed with a recapitulation of “Bring Me To Life” as the monster turns our sweet dream into a chaotic nightmare. Will we ever wake up? Featuring instrumental solists Grace Osmonson, Aliva Ingraham, Leon Jacob, and Mason Uytioco. Guard Soliest is Makynna Winden.
