Audience members will find the consequential element of theater in this music quite interesting.

Many Truman faculty, staff and students are involved in helping raise money and gathering canned food for multiple local organizations. One of those organizations is the Food Bank of Central and Northeast Missouri at sharefoodbringhope.org. Walmart is splitting $3 million to 100 different food banks across the county and the decision on who gets that money is based upon the number of votes each one gets from now until April 30. A person can vote every day. To vote, go to wm8.walmart.com/Hunger and for “Food Bank of Central and Northeast Missouri.”
