Red Summer Songbook Volume 1: The Ballad of Eugene Williams

In Red Summer, Eugene Williams is celebrated in a magnum opus created by a team of artists intent on rejoicing in his humanity. He is more than a life cut short – he is the joyous promise of youth. This volume takes us inside the crafting of “The Ballad” which sits at the center of a stunning new musical. We cannot know Eugene, but we can feel the heft of him – and we certainly feel the void left by the taking of his life.
