Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson is a sharp-witted musical comedy about the life of America's original political maverick that reimagines and reinvents the life of President Andrew Jackson, and sets it to an infectious emo rock score. In keeping with the mission of ArtsWest, it's a fiercely compelling event that will surely inspire conversation. It's a blast from the past that parallels today's political climate, depicting the birth of Democracy soaked in Emocracy and testosterone. The show reveals our nation's growing pains, and those of Jackson himself. He was unexpectedly famous, and thrust into leading a country. He is sometimes called the American Hitler. He asked for forgiveness rather than permission for what he did.

This past summer, at Lamb's Players Advanced Musical Theatre Camp, under the direction of Associate Artistic Director, Kerry Meads, students were challenged to write the lyrics for an original song about the effects of texting and social media on their relationships. They worked together as an ensemble, along with Lamb's Associate Artists, and brainstormed about their thoughts and feelings. Phrases flew out about their frustration with 'faceless conversation' and 'why can't we unplug and give a hug' or 'Why do you only want to talk to me across a broadband?' They expressed a longing for connection and community that they felt was epitomized by last year's blackout in San Diego on September 8. Jon Lorenz, co-creator of 'Mixtape', compiled their free flow of ideas into a song called 'Blackout Day'.
