Monumental Theatre Company presents a concert presentation of Built For This, an athletic, feminist, all-femme new pop musical centering five fierce young gymnasts confronting inner demons required for top tier competition, as well as a real-life demon preying on their youth, ambition and vulnerability. Set months before the first news story drops about the abuse of Larry Nassar and USA Women's Gymnastics abandonment of his survivors, this musical lets five of those young women sing their truth as they uncover the biggest sexual assault scandal in sports history. Inspired by the incredible true story about the gymnast survivors that took down their former team doctor for decades of sexual abuse within the Olympic, national, collegiate, and community levels of the gymnastics world. This concert will focus on the development of the music and orchestrations.
