THE COLOR OF THE SKY - Maine, 1992

THEME
The multinational cast explored themes of prejudice by creating a story based on Romeo and Juliet. The result was a highly original play creating two fictitious societies of the Night People and the Day People. Both societies had fears, misconceptions and hatred of the other until an eclipse brought both sides together, providing a backdrop for a girl from the Day People and a boy from the Night People to fall in love. Their determined struggle to be together follows the timeless theme of love.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PROGRAM
After watching a few rehearsals, 15-year-old Kevin was inspired to create incidental music for the production. He ended up writing an entire original score, giving him enough confidence in his abilities to continue studying music. He produced his first CD when he was 19 years old about peace and diversity.
