Tickets On Sale Now! All Ages!
In partnership with the Music Box, five graduating seniors at Baldwin Wallace University Arts Management Program will be co-producing a disco dance party with special guest DISCO INFERNO. This event will be hosted at Music Box on April 23 starting at 9 p.m.
Every year, assistant head of the department, Dr. Sean Murphy, facilitates this project with a partnering music venue in Cleveland. Students get hands-on experience with booking a band, creating a marketing plan with the goal of selling out the show and producing the concert on-site.
“This project offers a robust, real world experience for our students,” Bryan Bowser, head of the arts management department, speaks on this capstone project. “Students can choose to work with Playhouse Square on producing a show in partnership with the BW Music Theatre program or with a music venue in the greater Cleveland area. Seniors who chose to work with Music Box were responsible for finding and booking a band, marketing the show and producing it on show day,” Sean Murphy adds.
