Elevator Heart

Book and Lyrics by Sara Cooper
Music by Amy Burgess and Julia Meinwald

Elevator Heart is a modular musical theatre piece built of vignettes that explore the diverse experiences of women in the 21st century. There's room for everyone's voice as the ensemble creates a world of songs, scenes, and monologues that explore the way we tell stories and lay bare the intersections of being a woman. The piece features an all-woman+ cast of 8 performers, but it can also be done with a larger ensemble. We like to think of it as the Vagina Monologues of the #MeToo era.
