Bassoonist on the Roof Collective

Bassoonist on the Roof is a new musical blending tradition and rebellion across five timelines -- from Shakespeare's England to Anatevka to Harlem to present-day Durham to the near future. With humor, history, and a mysterious bassoonist who appears just when things get complicated, the show explores matchmaking, morality, and modern identity through storytelling and unexpected instruments.
