GARAGE BAND, by Ken Davenport and The Grundleshotz, to Premiere at George Street Playhouse This Fall

This fall, the George Street Playhouse (David Saint, Artistic Director) in New Brunswick, New Jersey, will present the world premiere production of the new musical "GARAGE BAND" for a five-week limited engagement, September 24 through October 27, 2013.

A laugh-out-loud rockin' musical comedy celebration of the great Garden State,
"GARAGE BAND" features book by Ken Davenport and The Grundleshotz, and music and lyrics by Mark Allen, with additional material by Sarah Saltzberg.

We're getting the band back together! Mitch Shapiro is 40... and he's fired. When Wall Street cuts him loose, he moves back to Mom's house (in Sayreville, NJ) and reconnects with the old gang for en epic high-stakes battle of the bands.

Best buddies, old girlfriends, high school bullies that never grew up and one hot New Jersey momma make for fast times and a new start for this Jersey boy. Who says you can't go home?

Casting and complete creative team will be announced soon.

The Grundleshotz is a group of performers and writers comprised of Sebastian Arcelus, Fred Berman, Michael Hirstreet, Jenna Coker Jones, Craig Jorczak, Nathan Kaufman, Jay Klaitz, Emily McNamara, Jennifer Miller, Bhavesh Patel, Sarah Saltzberg and Fletcher Young, who helped develop "GARAGE BAND" through a series of improvisational rehearsals.
