Devised Musical – What Happens at The End – What Happens at The End is a musical about the end of the world. It explores how we feel when faced with an existential threat – What suddenly becomes important? What feels ridiculous? What do we do? Who do we value? Is it sad? Funny? Joyful?
As the characters in this series of vignettes grapple with their impending doom, they are forced to confront difficult questions and in the process, realize who they are and how they want to spend the little time they have left. There is no one way people handle a situation like this, and the varied reactions you see reflect exactly that—human difference. This devised piece was originally conceived by students at Lincoln-Sudbury High School. Music and lyrics by Kenter Davies and Caleb Martin-Rosenthal.
