James St. James, Los Angeles personality and author of Disco Bloodbath (aka Party Monster) says, "It has always been my dream to see my book be made into either a big Broadway musical or a Saturday morning cartoon. Jacob and Andrew are going to make one of those dreams come true!"
Featuring the book, music and lyrics of AnDrew Barret Cox, CLUBLAND is a wholly immersive experience that truly comes alive in a venue like Oberon. Oberon is a thriving incubator for emerging ar5sts to imagine new projects that could only exist in this exci5ng club theater club theater environment. CLUBLAND relaunched the Oberon's New Works Series and much anticipated production.
