With a desperate city pinning its hopes on this seemingly impossible project, only skyscraper-levels of grit and determination can keep it climbing. Empire presents a dramatic tale of derring-do, told through foot-tapping music and timeless characters, including the industrialist visionaries, can-do immigrants, and brave Mohawk ironworkers, who had the guts to go up when everyone else was down. These universal stories of extraordinary resilience and optimism still inspire today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eEmpire\u003c\/em\u003e features performances by \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDanny Iktomi Bevins\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eDevin Cortez\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eMorgan Cowling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eKaitlyn Davidson\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eJoel Douglas\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eAlexandra Frohlinger\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eAlbert Guerzon\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eKiana Kabeary\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eHoward Kaye\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eApril Ortiz\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eJessica \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRanville\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaul Salvatoriello\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eJ Savage\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eRobbie Serrano\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eEthan Saviet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e.
