Discription:
The second in a 60's trilogy
of musically advanced plays by john daniels, jr.
SIRENS-N-AQUARIUS is a tone
piece. It is a collection of 25 rock and roll/pop/folk songs written
or performed by women during the 60's and early 70's. The show is
poems, skits, running gags and togetherness. SIRENS is not
a history of women in rock-n-roll, but a celebration of their contribution
toward human spirit in a very tense and turbulent time.
The future of peace, equality, freedom and
prosperity lies within the human spirit, shielded
from action by a division of male and female fear.
A fear of change. In the 1960's the feminine
warrior began to bridge the divide.
Combining innocence, passion and the fervor of
youth the gentle idols walked on... True faith in
change. This is not a history lesson. This is some
of what the children saw, heard and felt: Hope.
This is a celebration of memories.
This is a celebration of hope.
We give you this and...
...peaceful thoughts of a woman on the
moon.
Note: One
section in SIRENS, calls for huge puppets (Bread and Puppet Theater
style) of Bert Parks, an Irish cop and LBJ.
Note:
The rights to the show does not carry the performance rights to the music.
Sirens has been produced
by two community theaters using Karaoke tapes. All the songs in the
show are available on tape. Live music is always the best and should
be used, if possible. Each time the producing company has gotten
permission to use the music themselves.
