10 years ago, Philadelphia’s Team Sunshine Performance dared themselves to do something no theater company has done before: Invite the same ensemble every 2-3 years to remake the same show… for 24 years. The Sincerity Project is an ambitious and audacious multi-decade theater piece that changes with each iteration in response to the shifts in our lives and in the world. Now in its fifth installment, Sincerity serves as a stopping point, a pause, a moment for us to sincerely engage with the harrowing, beautiful, and complex realities of time’s passing.

December 10-15, 2024

Tickets are available here: https://www.teamsunshineperformance.com/sincerity-5.html.

How are conflicts created and resolved in song? What makes a catchy chorus? How can you use a melody to reflect emotion? How do actors decide when to burst into song? After playing with these concepts, we’ll create our very own musical, which will be unforgettable and immediately forgotten.
