#DTCSignoftheTimes
Regional Premiere! The year is 1965. In an era fueled by women’s liberation, the civil rights movement, and the Vietnam War, one woman made her own personal march – from middle America to the bright lights of New York City.
Here, she would discover unexpected friends, lovers, passions, and conflicts on her journey to change not just herself, but her world. Told through the classic music of a generation and featuring iconic songs made famous by Petula Clark and other hit-makers of the day, like “Downtown,” “If I Can Dream,” “The Boy from New York City,” and “You Don’t Own Me,” this brand new musical brings together the songs you’ll always remember with a story you’ll never forget.

PRESS & REVIEWS
"For sheer exuberance, here comes A Sign of the Times, a regional premiere and Delaware Theatre Company’s holiday offering. It’s a singing and dancing bildungsroman where the music never seems to stop."
"It's hard not to break out singing. First, you know the songs. it seems like everybody knows the songs. Second, it's all just so tempting: bright colors, bright music, fun dancing, glittery set."
