White Noise is billed as "A Cautionary Musical," and is inspired by the real-life teenage white supremacist pop/folk band Prussian Blue.
White Noise is described by the authors as follows:
"An adorable pair of sisters, Blanche and Eva, lead the teen band White Noise, mixing irresistible harmonies with white power rhetoric and taking the nation by storm. Their message of racial purity resonates with young people across America and the rise of White Noise coincides with a rise in the white supremacist movement which threatens to engulf the country, as Blanche and Eva prove themselves to be masters of the most terrifying and unstoppable form of Fascism in today's culture: Top Forty pop."
The cast of
White Noise includes Libby Winters, Molly Laurel, Danny Calvert, Micah Shepard,
Rick Crom and Phillip Taratula.

Todd L. Underwood, musical direction and arrangements by
Ben Cohn, set design by Elisha Schaefer, lighting design by Jeff Croiter, sound design by Danny Von Erdberg, and costume design by Matthew Ashman. Nina Shreiber, Lee Ann Gullie and director
