To know where we’re going, we have to remember where we started.
As we continue our journey toward Near West Theatre’s 50th Anniversary in 2028, we’re excited to welcome back Road to 50: Celebrating the Songs That Shaped Us!
For our second concert, we’re opening the NWT vault and rewinding the clock to revisit the music, people, and stories that shaped our earliest years. Join us for an evening of music and storytelling featuring songs from The Roar of the Greasepaint, The Smell of the Crowd, Don’t Bother Me, I Can’t Cope, Working, Godspell, The Wiz, Hair, The Me Nobody Knows, Fiddler on the Roof, and more.
Through the voices of Near West Theatre artists, past and present, we’ll travel back to where it all began, hearing from the people who helped build Near West Theatre and celebrating the generations Near West Theatre has helped build along the way.
