DR. SILVER: A Celebration of Life

Book, Music, Lyrics by Anika Johnson and Britta Johnson

From the harmonious souls of Anika & Britta Johnson

An Outside the March and Musical Stage Company Experience

Directed by Mitchell Cushman

Dr. Silver has left his body behind, as well as a dedicated family of followers. In recognition of all that he was, and all that he has helped us to be, The Silver Singers invite you to immerse yourself in the music, the teachings, and the legacy of a great man – finally released. The celebration promises to be a rapturous experience; a sung-through, psychedelic dissolution into the transcendental power of music.

DR. SILVER has been developed in part with the Luminato Festival and through THE COLLABORATIONS at Canada’s National Arts Centre.

The playwrights acknowledge the assistance of the 2018 Banff Playwrights Lab – a partnership between the Banff Centre and the Canada Council for the Arts.

DR. SILVER was originally commissioned and developed through Outside the March’s FORWARD MARCH program. An excerpt was presented during “The Pop-Up Experience” in 2016.
