CARRIE Composer (and Alumnus) Michael Gore ‘69 Sends Meaningful Message to US Cast/Crew

Mar 6, 2026 | Performing Arts, Recent News

It’s not too late to reserve your tickets to CARRIE! Remaining performances are tonight, March 6, at 7:00 PM, and Saturday, March 7, 2:00 PM and 7:00 PM. Award-winning composer Michael Gore ESB ’69, an alumnus of D-E with an extraordinary connection to the production (he composed the music for CARRIE: The Musical), sent this heartfelt message to our incredible cast and crew: “Along with my other collaborators—Lawrence D. Cohen, who wrote the book, and Dean Pitchford, who wrote the lyrics—we wanted to reach out to wish all of you a successful run this weekend. I hope you’ve had as good a time working on our show as we had writing it… it feels like a gift in this full circle moment that you guys are doing CARRIE at the very school that gave me four wonderful years and helped prepare me for both Yale University and the world beyond. Break a leg tonight and know that my colleagues and I are thinking of you and sending all our best!” Don’t miss your chance to see CARRIE.
