This truly original musical takes a look at the complexities of relationships between brothers and sisters, and parents and children, set against the 40-year background of a changing America. It's the story of Jen, and her relationships with the two Johns in her life: her younger brother, who served in Vietnam; and his namesake, her son who is trying to find his way in the world. Join us for a richly melodic story about connections, commitments, and the healing of the human heart.
"Andrew Lippa [is] a prodigious talent who embraces a formalist, non-traditional style, but also writes theater music with traditional beauties and compelling emotional resonances. He shot to fame with The Wild Party and...wrote the score for the musical The Addams Family." -Chicago Tribune
