Shoshana Bean's DEAR JOHN MAYER Extends Through 9/23

Open Fist Theatre Company is currently presenting a workshop production of the new musical DEAR John Mayer with music and lyrics by Shoshana Bean and book by Eydie Faye.

Produced by Shoshana Bean, Gregory Sieradzan, Scott Paulin, John LeMay, and John Bobek, directed by Martha Demson and featuring choreography by Eboni Nichols, DEAR John Mayer opened Friday, July 22 and was originally scheduled to run through Saturday, September 3; Open Fist is now, according to its website, selling tickets through September 23.

The story involves Stevie Steinman, who has a skill of doing what people expect her to do. So when she finds herself divorced at 30, living in her childhood bedroom and styling old ladies' hair for a living she decides it is finally time to do what she has wanted to do all along: Sing. Not knowing where to begin, she turns on her computer and creates a video blog in the hopes of catching the attention of her muse, John Mayer.

When a heavy-hitter from the music industry stumbles upon her videos, life changes very quickly for Stevie. The decision to follow her heart and enter the music game quickly reveals that the realities of the business are much different than the fantasies that play out in her bedroom.
