A special performance of "The Price of Freedom" will be given as part of Gilbert AZ's annual Constitution Week. The performance will be free to the public and will be conducted by composer Rob Gardner. More details to come.

Blackbeard is a new musical by composer Rob Gardner (Joseph Smith the Prophet, The Price of Freedom) about history's most notorious pirate.

Last summer, the show was workshopped at Mesa Community College and played to sold-out houses. Now, in a slight break from tradition, Spire Music will present a full production of the new show for a 4-week engagement at Phoenix's prestigious Herberger Theater Center. Starring previous Spire Music artists Jordan Bluth (Joseph Smith the Prophet...Abravanel), Linsey Maxson (He is Jesus Christ, The Price of Freedom) and Tyler Maxson (The Price of Freedom), this will be a unique event you will certainly not want to miss.
