Kansas City Repertory Theatre concludes its 50th anniversary season with a developmental production of Stillwater, a new rock musical staged by the Rep's Artistic Director Eric Rosen. Performances run May 13th through 24th, presented in a one-of-a-kind performance space - the first ever production inside the Spencer Theatre Scene Shop. Check out a first look below!
Stillwater is an angst-filled love letter to a generation rebounding from the economic and cultural shocks of the last ten years. Music and Lyrics are by Salina KS native Nathan Tysen, lyricist of the spring 2016 Broadway-bound musical Tuck Everlasting and the anticipated adaptation of Amelie premiering at Berkeley Rep this fall. Stillwater features acclaimed Midwestern band Joe's Pet Project, performing a rock, pop and alt-country score. Stillwater tells the story of two love triangles intersecting: six unbridled twenty-somethings: a drug dealer, his recovering addict ex-girlfriend, and the neighbor who loves her; plus an indie musician on the brink of stardom, his unfaithful girlfriend, and her desperate one-night stand.
The ensemble cast, drawn locally and across the country, includes David George, Curt Hansen, F. Michael Haynie,Shanna Jones, Ryan McCall, and Emily Shackelford. Joe's Pet Project members include: Nathan Tysen, Lance Gilchrist, Jason Hammond, John Hobson, and Ryan McCall.
