Author: Anne Berlin, music by Andy Cohen

Ripcords is a dramatic new musical about post-World War II. In the 1950’s, a new generation — called the “silent generation”, as they were too young to have served in the war, but too old to be considered Baby Boomers — came of age. Our show tells the story of one woman from that generation: Susan Davies, an office worker at the Champlain Line Company in upstate New York. Susan faces a decision: should she settle down and marry Charlie, her humble ex-GI fiancé, or should she set her sights on more? Susan’s choices become more difficult when Joe, her old flame, and the soon-to-be president of the Champlain Line Company, arrives. With Joe comes a secret from the past: revelations about war profiteering which have repercussions that affect the whole town. Ripcords features a jazzy score by young songwriters Anne Berlin (book/lyrics) and Andy Cohen (music) making their NYC professional stage debut this summer.

There are so many parallels from the era of Ripcords to today’s society! The issue of war profiteering is highly relevant (think about the actions of Halliburton or Blackwater in Iraq), and so is the conflict between a woman’s goals in life and society’s expectations of her. But the best reason to see our show is that we discuss these issues through music and narrative without being preachy or sensationalist — we strive to entertain as much as we do to elucidate and educate.

See our show! Because we have a romantic story, poignant but hopeful, that will captivate audiences of a wide range of ages: from veterans of the war, who will identify with the accounts of the Airborne Infantry units, to high school students curious about the history of the era and the lives of people who lived during that time period.
