Echo in the Canyon (2019)
This film celebrates the explosion of popular music that came out of LA’s Laurel Canyon neighborhood in the mid-’60s as folk went electric and bands like The Byrds, The Beach Boys, Buffalo Springfield, and The Mamas and the Papas gave birth to the California Sound. In that one fertile, creative moment, Laurel Canyon emerged as a hotbed of originality and collaboration for a new generation of musicians who would soon put an indelible stamp on the history of American popular music.

Based on the 1992 Disney film, Disney’s Newsies comes to life on the Ferguson stage this summer.
