Happy Birthday Stephen Sondheim!
Today is Stephen Sondheim's 80th birthday! The American composer and lyricist has won eight Tony awards, more than any other composer, an Oscar, eight Grammy awards, a Pulitzer Prize, a Laurence Olivier Award, and was given the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2015. If you are unfamiliar with his work come by the library and check out one of the dvds we have of productions of his shows! These include, but aren't limited to, Into the Woods, Company, Follies, and Sunday in the Park with George. He also composed A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, we which also have on dvd, but isn't pictured because I did not realize it was his work until I double checked his awards.
