The Beautiful City Project returns to Athenaeum Center with a concert performance of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Ben Elton’s The Beautiful Game, with all proceeds benefiting Athenaeum Center for Thought & Culture.
Set in Belfast during the Troubles, The Beautiful Game follows a group of young football players whose lives are changed by the conflict around them. What begins with the energy of a local team becomes a story about friendship, first love, faith, family, anger, heartbreak, and hope.
Rooted in a particular place and period, the musical asks enduring questions about what shapes a community, what people inherit from the world around them, and whether they can choose a different way forward.
