WEST WARWICK â After a year in which theaters worldwide were dark, the curtain will finally rise this weekend on a musical production unlike anything the West Warwick High School Players have done before.Â
âUsually in a musical, it follows one story,â said Gianna DaSilva, a West Warwick High School senior and actor in the Playersâ first performance in over a year. âThis show is different.âÂ
Premiering online this Saturday, "Songs for a New World" is a virtual song cycle; a collection of stand-alone stories woven together by a common theme. Theyâre tales of transitions, of taking a stand, and of adapting to new circumstances.
