A MUSEUM+ Program, in association with the Lyric Theatre @ Illinois

35MM: A MUSICAL EXHIBITION

Music and Lyrics by Ryan Scott Oliver, based on the photographs by Matthew Murphy

The Peoria Riverfront Museum is proud to present, in association with our dear friends and curators of performance for the museum Julie and Nathan Gunn, 35MM: A Musical Exhibition. This will be the latest in a series of MUSEUM+ performances, sponsored by Linda Beth and Ed Sutkowski in an effort to bring more performance to Peoria, and offers a multi-sensory experienced, enhanced by the performance taking place in current museum exhibition Solitude: The Necessity of Art.

35MM: A Musical Exhibition is a series of songs that explore a range of human experiences: love, friendship, death, betrayal and memory. Audiences are encouraged to make their own connections between the songs, as well as thinking of their own personal experiences, and a broader cultural perspective. 

Each song is inspired by a photograph by Matthew Murphy, and will be projected on a screen behind the actors. The songs are written by Ryan Scott Oliver and are intended to feel like their own small shows. For example, "On Monday" is about a new relationship that starts with flirtation and turns to uncertainty. "Cut You a Piece" is about a young couple in love who experience tragedy.
