Open Stage, a theatre company downtown, is thrilled to announce their next production, The Mad Ones, an original musical by Kait Kerrigan & Bree Lowdermilk.
“Mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved…” The Mad Ones takes its name from a passage in Jack Kerouac’s On the Road. Samantha Brown balances on the edge of her future, car keys in hand. As she sits in the driver’s seat, she faces a choice: will she follow in her mother’s footsteps, or take the dare of her impetuous best friend and chart a new path? Sam has to make a decision. It’s a simple matter of left or right: a fork in the road in a car driven by the ghosts of her past. This contemporary musical is a journey of loss, freedom, and what it truly means to live life to the fullest.
The Mad Ones opened off-Broadway in November 2017. The musical has sold 15,000+ pieces of digital sheet music, amassed millions of YouTube views, and inspired thousands of fan videos. Its well-known songs include “Run Away With Me,” “Say the Word,” and “Freedom.”
