“The Originals”: OUR NEW TOWN

March 29, 2019 @ 8:00 pm - 10:30 pm
Stage One Theatre

"Our New Town” is a music theatre work created by Gabriel Dean, Jessie Dean and David Dabbon, a team of professional theatre-makers. The project is being workshopped (developed) with Wagner theatre students and Professor Theresa McCarthy.

A reading of the piece will be open to the public on March 29, 30, 31 at 8pm, and also at 2pm on 30th and 31st in Stage One Theatre.

“Our New Town” is the third new work to be developed by Wagner College Theatre under the initiative we call “The Originals”, a page to stage process that is practiced in the professional theatre world. New works evolve through collaborative teamwork beginning with readings, experimentation in rehearsal, writing revisions and finally culminating in a production after months of preparation.

About Our New Town
In the aftermath of the deadliest shooting on a college campus in US history, surviving cast members of Thornton Wilder’s OUR TOWN put together an unauthorized show as a way to reclaim their theatre space and heal their broken community. But when the event is stopped mid-performance, the cast and audience must decide between compliance or defiance. A hyper theatrical blend of truth with fiction, of scene with song, OUR NEW TOWN is an immersive play that puts the audience at the center of an American crisis.

Our New Town will have a full production in Stage One Fall 2019.
