The Mondavi Center Presents A New Musical

The UC Davis Department of Theatre and Dance will present “Open, Stay,” a new musical, June 7-10, 2023, in the Vanderhoef Studio Theatre, part of the Robert and Margrit Mondavi Center for the Performing Arts.

Featuring music and lyrics by Anna DeNoia and arranged/orchestrated by Joshua Villa, “Open, Stay” masterfully weaves together musical genres to create an evening of laughter, romantic resilience and lessons learned.

“Open, Stay” is a vibrant contemporary musical that explores romance in all forms – from thrilling first encounters to bittersweet goodbyes. The musical will be directed by Broadway veteran Mindy Cooper, with music direction by Graham Sobelman.

“Open, Stay” is a collection of ten moments of connection — beginnings, endings, and in-betweens – as well as the moments that come long after we part ways. It is an exploration of how we love and how we lose one another, all connected by the need that brings us together — the need for each other.
