Letters to the Future
NEW MEXICO STATE UNIVERSITY (2020)
This theatrical piece was devised by the New Mexico State University theatre department and performed in September of 2020 as a response to the political, social, and economic state of the country. “Letters to the Future” was performed as a series of letters written to the times ahead, and filmed completely COVID-safe with social distancing, limited groups, and masks required in between all shots.
Lisa’s original song, “Dear You,” closed the show. A rough cut of the song is below.
“The song at the very end– and talk about worth waiting for – was written by the Theatre Department’s visiting musical theatre artist, Lisa Hermanson, sung by [Dominique] Gomez.”
