Join Oberlin Music Theater students for a musical exploration of the Allen’s galleries and a celebration of creativity. As part of a class assignment, students selected a work of art from the museum’s collection and created an original song or underscored monologue inspired by a character or object within it. This event features performances of a selection of these original compositions.
