Music/Lyrics/Book for STREET LIGHTS by Joe Drymala

Video Producer & STREET LIGHTS stage direction by Ryan Davis

"Wake It Up" sung by Tenna Torres

STREET LIGHTS is a new kind of musical. The music is different than any other musical out there right now...it mixes modern hip hop/pop production techniques with samples from recordings made during the civil rights movement. The Lyrics are about struggle, hope, ambition, anger, injustice, love, and the promise of a new generation. They are heavily influenced by soul, R&B, blues, and especially hip hop.

The story is about inner-city teenagers coming together to save their music school from being torn down. In the process, they bring hope to their violent neighborhood and learn how powerful they are when they stand together.
