1959 SAINT ASCENSION
The New Musical

1959 Saint Ascension, a new musical by Emmy Award winning director Gary Paben and music by Donna Perrino, Saint Louis Symphony Soloist, will have its Premier Performance at St. Louis Community College Meramec.

The story, set in a hospital, unravels the relationships of the people left behind as loved ones experience an endless sleep. Romantic couples, mystery, guilt, magic and the unexpected punctuate the drama. As we slide out of sadness into song and dance. The music becomes a beacon as the light is revealed in all of us.
