  • SHOUT! The Mod Musical
    February 5th through 20th, 2010, Magoffin Auditorium
     Shout! is the mod musical magazine that brings back the beautiful birds and smashing sounds that made England swing in the 60¹s. From cover-to-cover, Shout! travels in time from 1960 to 1970 chronicling the dawning liberation of women. Just as Dusty Springfield, Petula Clarke, Cilla Black and Lulu were independent women with major careers, English and American women were redefining themselves in the face of changing attitudes about gender. Shout! reflects that change through unforgettable music of the time.
