Working in the Theatre: The Blueprint Specials

In the summer of 1944, engulfed by a war spread across three continents, the US Army made a foray into some unlikely territory: producing Broadway-style musicals.

In the winter of 2017, Waterwell in association with Under the Radar Festival, and the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum have excavated and revived these unknown shows as a collaboration between artists and veterans. In a time, where art is needed most, watch as these creators celebrate the importance of producing theatre for both the military and the American public at large.
