“The Journey celebrates the 50th anniversary of Up with People, while acknowledging that UWP’s mission is an ongoing journey, and is as relevant now as it was in 1965,” explains Up with People Executive Producer Eric Lentz. “The show features historical highlights from throughout Up with People’s existence, including pop medleys from the last five decades, and a medley of iconic UWP international dances. Original UWP songs introduce timeless themes, and include messages of hope, movement, peace, and an overriding sense of motivation to go out and make a positive change in the world.” Lentz added.
