In 1965, one woman’s incredible journey begins to the soundtrack of a generation. In this whirlwind of flower power, free love and rock & roll, one aspirational young woman finds herself in New York City—ready to dive into this brave new world.

You’re invited to journey back to America’s most unforgettable decade as a young photographer tries to make her way in the world amid the changing times and changing music that defined an era. A totally original story with such classic songs as "Downtown", "Gimme Some Lovin’", "Rescue Me" and "I Know A Place" plus dozens more, A Sign of the Times explodes with the music you love, the moves you’ll never forget and the madness that shaped that generation—and our own. Presented by The York Theatre Company.
