Send Stephen Sondheim Your Birthday Wishes On ShowSpace
What better way to honor a man who has spent over fifty years touching people's lives than by thanking him personally? We encourage you to find a photo, article, program, poster, or anything that expresses the meaning Sondheim's music and lyrics have in your life, and write a note to Sondheim explaining the item's significance. If there isn't any one thing that encapsulates your relationship with Sondheim's art, simply write a brief letter. Send us your material so we can compile it into a scrapbook, which we will present to Sondheim himself. This is your chance to directly thank one of the greatest composer/lyricists in musical theatre history for the songs that have affected your life.
Here's how to submit your material for the Sondheim 80th Birthday Scrapbook:
We'll be contributing our own content, as well. Weekly articles, a special Sondheim's 80th Birthday logo, a contest, and other editorial content have been keeping our main site (www.mtishows.com) and MTI ShowSpace (mtishowspace.com) Sondheim-centric in the month leading up to his birthday.
We've already written six articles on the work of Stephen Sondheim:
Gracious Living: The Pursuit of Wealth and Happiness in SATURDAY NIGHT
Good Thing Going: The Positive Message of MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG
The Sondheim Revues
My Dearest Giorgio: The Use of Letters in PASSION
There Is No Other Way: Suicide in PACIFIC OVERTURES
Song Analysis: “The Story of Lucy and Jessie” from FOLLIES
