Cherry Creek Theatre's JOHN & JEN Begins 5/30
A truly original musical that examines the complexities of relationships between brothers and sisters and parents and children set against the background of a changing America between 1950 and 1990.
This is the story of Jen and her relationships with the two Johns of her life: her younger brother, who was killed in Vietnam, and his namesake, her son who is trying to find his way in a confusing world. "John & Jen" is a tour-de-force for two actors, taking them from childhood, through adolescence and beyond.
Cherry Creek Theatre presents ""John & Jen" May 30 through June 22 at the Shaver-Ramsey Showroom, 2414 East 3rd Ave. Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 6:30 p.m. Single tickets are $28; $25 for seniors/students; $23 for groups of 10 or more. 303-800-6578 or online at www.cherrycreektheatre.org
Multiple Henry, Ovation, True West and Marlowe award winner Megan Van De Hey* returns to CCTC as Jen and Casey Andree makes his CCTC debut as John.
