The ensemble of “Bonnie and Clyde: The Musical” prepares for the song “Made in America.” The musical features music by Frank Wildhorn and lyrics by Don Black. Director and fourth-year theater student Emily Mikolitch said, “Community is more important in America now than ever before. While there's not a big political statement to the show, the relevance was the process of creating a family of over 40 undergraduate students coming together and building something.”

The preacher (third-year musical theater student Nick McKenna) looks down at the ensemble during the song “Made in America.” Fourth-year theater student Michelle Joo designed the set of four rolling panels made of corrugated plastic. “Since we are limited on space and this is a musical, I wanted to design something that is versatile and can be brought to life through lighting and projections,” she said.
