54 BELOW will present Florence Klein in the New Writers! Series on Tuesday, March 4th, 2025 at 9:30pm. Florence Klein, composer of Archie’s Weird Parody, In My Head I’m 21, Playing Dead, and more will be joined by many special guests to present work from his discography of exciting new musicals.
Think niche, and get even niche-ier. Florence’s shows explore concepts like Y2K, prophetic visions, faking your death, and linguistic theories of simultaneous consciousness. Florence will take audiences through the timeline of his shows, their unique stories, and give insight on how these songs were written. Florence will be joined by original cast members of Archie’s Weird Parody to reprise their roles.
Ariana Montoya (Veronica Lodge) and Delaney Ager (Betty Cooper) are thrilled to get nostalgic and sing from Archie’s Weird Parody. Also joining Florence is Mia Breckenridge Scott, one half of the band Will They, Won’t They. Florence and Mia’s debut single came out this fall. Additional artists include Olivia Billings, Samy Cordero, Miclo González, Jesse Hartley, Jad Jacob, Sage Jepson, Jamie Louise Lockhart, Megan Moran, Diogo Ramirez, Audrey Shoop, Malynne Smith, and Alyssa Watkins.
