The Umbrella Stage Company is proud to announce the presentation of TICK, TICK… BOOM!, the autobiographical rock musical by Jonathan Larson, directed by Ilyse Robbins**. From Friday, October 10 through Sunday, November 23, 2025, audiences will be invited into the creative crucible of a composer on the brink of his 30th birthday, facing the crossroads of love, ambition, and artistic purpose.
Before Rent, there was TICK, TICK… BOOM!. This autobiographical musical by Jonathan Larson, the Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning composer of Rent, is the story of a composer and the sacrifices that he made to achieve his big break in theater. TICK, TICK… BOOM! takes you on the playwright/composer’s journey through his quarter-life crisis that led to a Broadway blockbuster.
His girlfriend wants to get married and move out of the city, his best friend is making big bucks on Madison Avenue, and yet Jon is still waiting on tables and trying to write the great American musical. Set in 1990, this compelling story of personal discovery is presented as a rock musical filled with instantly appealing melodies and a unique blend of musical theater styles.
Shows run Thursdays and Fridays at 7:30PM, Saturdays at 8PM and Sundays at 3PM. A special KidCare Show on Nov 2 will allow parents an opportunity to attend a matinee performance while their child(ren) ages 5-12 engage in art activities inspired by the show in one of The Umbrella’s classrooms with an experienced teacher.
Dinner & A Show packages are available for all Thursday night performances. Talk Backs are scheduled following the Oct 18 and Nov 6 performances.
The performance will run in rotation with The Umbrella’s production of the heartfelt play The Counter, a Boston-area premiere, in the Black Box Theater from Sep 26 through Nov 9.

NH Master Chorale’s Fall Concerts: Answering A Universal Need for Blessing
2025-11-22 19:30 - 21:00 | St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, 21 Centre St, Concord, NH, 03301, United States
The esteemed New Hampshire Master Chorale presents spiritual music for a secular age in a two-concert series in Concord on November 22 and Plymouth on November 23.
The program features the premiere of “Until We Could,” Boston composer Oliver Caplan’s setting of a Richard Blanco’s poem that commemorates the 10th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling legalizing same- sex marriage. Commissioned by the Master Chorale, the piece is the group’s eighth Caplan collaboration.
The program also includes:
“The Beatitudes,” a setting by the Estonian composer Arvo Pärt of the well-known “Blessed be…” texts from Jesus’ well-known Sermon on the Mount.
The familiar text of “Magnificat,” set by 20th -century English composer Gerald Finzi. These words, from the Gospel of Luke, are usually seen as the Virgin Mary’s outpouring of humble joy and gratitude at being chosen to bear God’s son, but Mary’s son also contains a challenge to the political status quo that speaks to our own age.
“Sacred Place,” a six-movement “ecological service” that composer Alex Berko has modeled after a Jewish service, with texts from writers who “view the Earth as sacred.”
“Dyptich for Organ,” a two-movement work composed by Brenda Portman in 2024 and performed by Rob St. Cyr.
“Until We Could, the final selection on the program, is a powerful statement on why the legalization of same-sex marriage in 2015 was so crucial for those who had been denied that validation. It sets an intensely personal poem by Richard Blanco, an engineer-turned-poet living in Maine who is best-known for the poem on national unity he delivered at Barack Obama’s first inauguration.
Oliver Caplan says when he began composing “Until We Could” he thought of it as “a celebratory project” to commemorate the Supreme Court decision. But in recent months, it has taken on a more somber tone. “We are witnessing a painful rollback of gay rights – and civil rights more broadly,” Caplan says. “Now, more than ever, we must redouble our efforts for freedom and equality…and carry forward the simplest and most enduring truth: Love is love.”
The performance on Saturday, November 22, is at 7:30 p.m. in St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, across from the Statehouse in Concord. The November 23 concert is at 4:00 p.m. at the Plymouth Congregational Church. Tickets are available through https://www.ticketleap.events/events/nhmc-4
