Very Intense Productions and Your Theatrics will present Jasper in Deadland on Monday November 18 (9:30pm and 11:30pm) at New York's premiere Supper Club, 54 Below, produced in association with Prospect Theater Company. Jasper in Deadland is the final concert of RSO FEST, a series of concerts showcasing the scores of three new musicals by composer Ryan Scott Oliver. RSO FEST launched October 7th with 35mm: A Musical Exhibition (produced in association with Tony Award winning producer John Johnson), followed by Darling on Monday November 4 (produced in association with Grammy Award winning Sh-k-boom records and Kurt Deutsch).
Jasper in Deadland follows 16-year-old Jasper as he travels through the afterlife on a mission to save his best friend, Agnes. In this hybrid underworld, Jasper encounters demons, gods, mortals and monsters from Greek, Egyptian, Roman, Norse, and Judeo-Christian mythology, learning what it means to die and questioning what it means to live.
The one-night only presentation is set to include Jay Armstrong Johnson, Katie Rose Clarke, Wesley Taylor, F. Michael Haynie, Tori Huston-Elem, John-Michael Lyles, Julia Mattison, Ryan Nixon, Lexi Rabadi, and George Salazar.
Rounding out the ensemble are Kevin Shotwell, Tatiana Lofton and Connor Russell.
Jasper in Deadland was commissioned by the Pasadena Musical Theater Program where it received a premiere workshop presentation in August 2011. It was also a selection for The York Theatre Company NEO Reading Series in February 2013.

54 Below, Broadway's Supper Club, is the new performance venue in the grand tradition of New York City nightlife. A few blocks from the heart of Times Square and just below the legendary Studio 54, 54 Below is a classically designed state-of-the art nightclub in the theatre district that hosts audiences with warmth and style. The venue provides a food and beverage menu from early evening through the wee hours of the morning that is worthy of the world-class entertainment on the stage. In their description of 54 Below, The New York Times writes "the club has the intimacy of a large living room with unimpeded views and impeccable sound; there is not a bad seat. Its sultry after-hours ambience is enhanced by brocade-patterned wall panels planted with orange-shaded lanterns. And the atmosphere is warmer and sexier than in Manhattan's other major supper clubs." Located at 254 West 54th Street, 54 Below features up to three shows nightly with cover charges ranging from $15-$95.
