Loud & With Feeling
Book, Music, & Lyrics by Spencer J. Vigil
Loud & With Feeling is a musical based on a true-to-life experience about a group of Queer students in the first 24 hours of their sit-in protest. Their quest to fight for LGBTQ+ rights at their Private Christian University is stifled after their favorite professor is fired! Throughout the night, the group uncovers a lot of of their own personal histories as they search for belonging, connection, and a collective future. With a pop-synth score and resemblances to shows like Rent, Fun Home, and Elizabeth Swado’s Runaways. Loud & With Feeling showcases the Joy, Triumph, and Community that everyone longs to be a part of.
