Balagan Theatre made three major announcements during a packed Season Preview Party at the Moore Theatre on Monday, June 10: Nirvanov as the fifth show in the 2013-2014 mainstage season, a star-studded trio of leading ladies in Carrie: The Musical, and a newly created New Works Program, whose Summer Series debuts July 6.

Subscriptions for the 2013-2014 mainstage season are available now at www.balagantheatre.org. Ticket information for the New Works Summer Series will be posted next week.
Nirvanov is a glam-grunge rock musical that combines Anton Chekhov's Ivanov with the tortured last days of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, who like Ivanov committed suicide in the midst of a debilitating battle with depression. With book and lyrics by David Lee and music by Nandi Johannes and David Lee, Nirvanov examines Cobain's final days in 1990s Seattle, as well as his fascination with 1940s Hollywood legend Frances Farmer. Balagan will produce Nirvanov in spring 2014; location is still to be determined.
