BOOK, MUSIC, AND LYRICS
“The Last Soviet” is a new one act Punk, Techno, and Russian Folk musical based on the true story of Sergei Krikalev, a Cosmonaut who was stranded in space for a year during the collapse of the USSR. This piece explores what it means when the country and people you love become something else entirely, and asks the audience "What would you do for your country?" whether that be a little or a lot and whether that be for the government or for the people in spite of said government.
WAY TO GO!
BOOK, MUSIC, AND LYRICS
"Way To Go" is an out of the box new modern musical examining love, death, god, and the things that bind us together on earth and beyond. Follow the journey of John and Jane as they navigate their other worldly connection in a world not fit to house them, and then just as you're getting to know them both, switch your focus to four youths dealing with the guilt of John's murder. The show touches on the relevant themes of religion, class warfare, the consequences of complacency, gun violence, restorative justice, and whether guilt has any meaning when it comes to egregious acts.
