Director’s Note

From the very beginning, Elon Music Theatre has been set apart as a program where students learn musical theatre not only as performers, but as creatives; as directors, choreographers, and music directors, learning skills that will help to build their future careers beyond the stage. Collage celebrates this extraordinary program and our multitalented students, with a program entirely staged, arranged, choreographed, and performed by the students themselves. Like its namesake, Collage spans the musical and theatrical spectrum, with material both new and old viewed through the lenses of the artists who will soon shape and re-shape the professional industry. By performing in Collage, every Elon “MT” joins in a grand tradition connecting them to the many great talents who passed this way; you, also, join in this tradition as audience members, the family and friends we honor today as the inspiration for the art – and artists – on stage. Thank you for joining us and playing your part in the story of Elon Music Theatre’s Collage.

Special Thanks
