Afterwords
A ROCK MUSICAL ABOUT SISTERHOOD, ART, AND LOVE
Music and Lyrics by ZOE SARNAK
Book by EMILY KACZMAREK
Directed by ADRIENNE CAMPBELL-HOLT
FEBRUARY 16-25, 2018
Reeling from the loss of their volatile mother, Kali and Simone are at odds as to whether to sell their costly childhood home. They compromise by renting out the attic, and into their lives walks Jo, an accomplished young war reporter. But her reasons for moving in are more complex than the sisters know: haunted by the death of her beloved mentor, Jo is hellbent on untangling the mysteries contained in his journals…whose pages point straight to Kali and Simone. As entanglements deepen and past collides with present, Kali, Simone, and Jo relay three sides of the same story through the show’s music, set, and book. Featuring a rhythmic and soulful score that fuses pop, rock, and modern indie-folk, AFTERWORDS is the story of three women bound by notes scribbled down on paper, and the art we make from the love that makes us.
About Beta Series
Beta Series is your chance to see exciting new musicals while they are still in the process of being created. After each performance, the authors will rewrite, make changes, and work with the cast to incorporate new scenes and songs before the next show. As the authors tweak and adjust based on what you have to say, the musical will continue to evolve throughout the run. And when those same shows move on to our Mainstage, the regional theatre scene, or even Broadway, you’ll get to say, “I knew it when.”
