The 2026-2027 Season kicks off with a world premiere of the first theatrical celebration of the legendary Stephen Schwartz songbook, highlighting six decades of songs from the beloved Grammy and Academy Award–winning composer of Wicked, Pippin, Godspell, The Prince of Egypt, and other Broadway and Hollywood classics. Conceived and created by Scott Coulter (CCM ’93), this thrilling and moving musical begins with Stephen’s first hit Broadway song, “Corner of the Sky,” and features the myriad musical ways it led to everything that came after, including “Defying Gravity.”
Corner of the Sky: The Songs of Stephen Schwartz celebrates six decades of music from one of Broadway’s most beloved composers. Featuring selections from Wicked, Pippin, Godspell, The Prince of Egypt, and more, the concert explores themes of self-discovery, faith, family, friendship, ambition, and finding one’s place in the world.
