Working once more with high school students, Kevin Brislin has taken on the science fiction book "The Gods Themselves" by Isaac Asimov as the text for a rock opera being written for North Port High School's annual Kaleidoscope performance. The opera will integrate rock and classical instrumentation to convey the intricate story of the book, which is considered one of the top 100 science fiction books ever written. Brislin is being assisted by two student co-writers; senior Glenn Banish and junior Tiffany Stone. This small ensemble will not only help write the opera but will also constitute the core performance group for the production at its premier on April 17, 2008 at the NPHS Performing Arts Center.
Brislin is also directing a documentary of the entire process involved in getting this production off the ground, which he is submitting as his thesis project for an MFA.
