The music of Laura Nyro has been a touchstone for a generation of artists whose work fills our world, including director Michael Mayer, who fell hard for the singer-songwriter when he first heard her in college. The Tony-award winning director of stage, screen, and opera curates and hosts a National Sawdust+ evening that explores her influence. Mayer will be joined by a handful of his close collaborators: acclaimed composers Jeanine Tesori

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

The music of Laura Nyro has been a touchstone for a generation of artists whose work fills our world, including director Michael Mayer, who fell hard for the singer-songwriter when he first heard her in college. The Tony-award winning director of stage, screen, and opera curates and hosts a National Sawdust+ evening that explores her influence. Mayer will be joined by a handful of his close collaborators: acclaimed composers Jeanine Tesori (Fun Home; Caroline, or Change; Thoroughly Modern Millie) and Stephen Trask (Hedwig and the Angry Inch; film scores such as The Savages and The Station Agent) will draw connections between their music and hers; novelist Michael Cunningham will share a special reading; and Tony-award winning singer Lena Hall (Hedwig and the Angry Inch) will perform a favorite Nyro song, joined by Trask on piano. Singer and poet Carl Hancock Rux, rising 18-year old vocalist Marla Toussaint, violinists Christian Hebel and Daniel Bernard Roumain, and guitarist Daniel Kajeckas join this unusual program devoted to an extraordinary muse.

The NS+ series is supported, in part, by a generous gift from The Kaplen Brothers Fund.
