New Stage Theatre Presents GUTENBERG! THE MUSICAL September 15-27

New Stage Theatre presents GUTENBERG! THE MUSICAL September 15-27, 2009.

GUTENBERG! is a musical comedy by Scott Brown and Anthony King.

Hold the presses for this brand new uproarious and hysterically funny two-man musical spoof! A pair of aspiring playwrights perform a backers audition for their new project: A big, splashy musical about printing press inventor Johann Gutenberg. With an unending supply of enthusiasm, Bud and Doug sing all the songs and play all the parts in their crass historical epic, with the hope that one of the producers in attendance will give them a Broadway contract, fulfilling their ill-advised dreams.

New Stage Theatre, The Jane Reid-Petty Theatre Center, 1100 Carlisle St., Jackson, MS 39202
