A Hammer, A Bell And A Song To Sing

Wrapping up it's world premiere tonight at the San Diego Repertory Theatre, A Hammer, A Bell And A Song to Sing showcases the music of political activist songwriters in the United States. 90 straight minutes of music with background images of key wars and protests the music of Pete Seeger is the main musical theme throughout the play. If you're like me, you know the songs but didn't realize who wrote them. (Oops!)

The three man show stars Vaughn Armstrong, Dave Crossland and Jim Mooney as the activist voices throughout the years. They are enjoyable and fun and essentially performed a 90 minute concert without a break. I liked having a theatrical performance go non-stop like that without any break in the momentum.

Tonight is the final night in San Diego and as of yesterday, a few seats remained. A Hammer, A Bell And A Song to Sing is an enjoyable evening at San Diego's Lyceum Stage Theater.  For more on Pete Seeger, check out his  fan appreciation page.
