Show Me Eternity – A New Musical by Dillon & Caps Book & Lyrics by Annie Dillon Music & Lyrics by Samantha Caps Emily Dickinson and Sue Gilbert… a romance hidden for over a century… Tickets available for the following dates: • Monday, December 4, 7:30pm Tickets: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/show-me-eternity-tickets-748110437457 Show Me Eternity unveils a story that was hidden for over a century: the romance between Emily Dickinson and Sue Gilbert, who was her brother Austin’s wife. After Emily’s death, Sue prepares Emily’s work for posthumous publication and enlists the help of Mabel Loomis Todd, a well-connected young artist with motives of her own. As Sue and Mabel review the late Emily's manuscripts, they uncover a series of memories that weave a story of everlasting love and difficult choices. Mabel and Sue discover, just as Emily did throughout her life, that both authenticity and erasure come at a cost. Show Me Eternity was developed as a part of Culture Lab LIC's 2023 Emergence Artist Residency. Culture Lab LIC is a 501(c)(3) formed to be the arts and culture umbrella for Western Queens. We present local, national, and international art of all genres, while supporting New York artists and other nonprofits by providing space, resources and a sense of community. This project is supported by funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, Statewide Community Regrants Program (formerly the Decentralization program) with the support of Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State Legislature, and administered by Flushing Town Hall.
