Our admiration for her work only increases with “Charles Ives Take Me Home,” directed by Matt Morrow, City's associate artistic director.
This smart, endearing story of fathers and children and how they shape each other's lives is, in a sense, a course in music appreciation mixed with a lesson in sports as an art form. Who knew how closely a basketball play could mimic a violin?

I like two things about what I read about this play. I like that it is using music written by a true professional composer and implementing it in text. That composer probably never anticipated that his work would be used in a play the way it was and it's interesting to see how works intended for one art form are able to be molded for another. The second thing I liked was the idea that the father and daughter could see eye to eye on a very different plane, that of similar sounds. It is a creative way to bring two characters together as opposed to traditional plot lines and I'm sure this theme of coming together fits beautifully with the music of the show.
