Nathan Tysen's STILLWATER Set for Joe's Pub

After a sold-out developmental production at the Kansas City Repertory Theatre, STILLWATER comes to Joe's Pub for a one-night only event.

STILLWATER is written by Broadway lyricist Nathan Tysen (TUCK EVERLASTING, AMÉLIE) and his popular Midwest rock band Joe's Pet Project. The evening will feature Emily Afton (HAIR), Curt Hansen (WICKED), F. Michael Haynie (HOLLA IF YA HEAR ME), Carrie Manolakos (MAMMA MIA), Dee Roscioli (WICKED), Margot Seibert (ROCKY) as well as Nathan Tysen and Joe's Pet Project. Directed by Eric Rosen.

STILLWATER plays Joe's Pub (425 Lafayette Street) on January 4th, 2016.
