Discover A New musical - Richard Uhrlaub (For The Records)

Emotions run high in the world of closed adoptions and sealed records, but the potential human stakes are even higher.  It's the fall of 1967, and an unexpected pregnancy thrusts teen lovers into the stark arena of adult realities. An infertile married couple longs to become parents via a system rooted in secrecy and shame. A beloved baby, named Joshua by his adoptive parents, must grow up severed from his roots. Forced to navigate seemingly insurmountable obstacles on the journey to learn his full identity as an adult, Joshua discovers a group with shared experiences who find their voices and fight for access to the truth about their origins.  Drawn from decades of real-life timeless stories of love, longing, loss and the visceral human quest for identity, empowerment and connection, For the Record(s) resonates with anyone who has lost or found family.
