2101 is a full-length musical about life 100 years in the future, created with more than 1,600 creative contributions from young people participating online. (We don’t have a recording of the show, however two singers have recorded songs from the show, and they’re included, without printed lyrics on this page.) 2101 tells the story of the beginning of a Mars colonization project, conceived by a young boy and funded by a idealistic young trillionaire at a time when the Earth’s environment is reeling from a depleted ozone layer and over-population. While most of the seats on the spaceships are reserved for the “best
and brightest,” a few are awarded by international lottery. Cameron's

Approximately 300 young people from the U.S., England and Australia contributed ideas and critiqued the work in progress, via email, daily online chats and electronic bulletin board over the course of the project.
