"A mother and son live their stagnant and emotionally distant lives when someone bursts in with artifacts from their family's past. As these relics open up old wounds within their family, they must find a way to reconcile their identities despite the generational rift between them."
Music, lyrics, and book by Jeremy Berdin "Buried Deep" will be put up as a staged reading by Drake Theatre People.
Thanks to support from Drake Theatre People, Buried Deep had a successful virtual reading despite campus closures. With direction from Sydney Crutcher, accompaniment by Elaine Wedeking, and a wonderful cast, this musical has taken an important first step in its development.

This upcoming spring will mark the culmination of my vocal work at Drake University. Because my journey in theatre has taken me far and wide, I feel it's appropriate to cap off my time here with songs that capture feelings of traveling: Heading to, coming from, and leaving behind. Come join me and a few other guests an evening of music during my last semester at Drake! Special thanks to my voice teacher, Gloria Olson; and my accompanist, Elaine Wedeking; who have been supporting me in my lessons for the past four years!

Come for an evening of Golden Age and Contemporary musical theatre! Under the professorship of Adam Yankowy, Drake University's MTII fall class presents "Do the Work", a cabaret presenting our work and studies over the past semester. In memory of the late, great Hal Prince; we will also be featuring songs from shows that originated under Prince's direction. We hope you will join us for an evening celebrating our work from the past few months!
