THE MAD ONES Musical to Benefit Downriver Arts Council in Wyandotte

Ms. Jami's Voice Studio will present The Mad Ones, a contemporary musical by Kait Kerrigan and Bree Lowdermilk, in a three-night run Thursday, August 6, through Saturday, August 8, at 7:30 p.m. at the James DeSana Center for Arts and Culture, 81 Chestnut Street, Wyandotte.

Produced by Ms. Jami's Voice Studio, the production features a cast of just four performers, current and former students of the studio. The show is co-directed by Jami Krause and Molly Boudreau.

The cast includes Sam: Cameryn Beaty-Burnett, Kelly: Evelyn Howes, Adam: Zach Haddad, and Bev: Lexi Stapula.

The Mad Ones is an intimate musical told almost entirely through song. The story follows 18-year-old Samantha Brown as she sits behind the wheel of her first car, facing a life-changing decision. Through memories of her adventurous best friend Kelly, her devoted mother, and her high school sweetheart, Samantha confronts grief, fear, and the courage it takes to choose her own future. 

"This production is especially meaningful because it brings together current and former students of our studio to give back to the organization that has supported so many visual and performing artists over the years," said Jami. "The Downriver Council for the Arts has been our home since 2019, and we're honored to use the power of live theater to help ensure it continues serving our community."

Performances will be held Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, August 6-8, at 7:30 p.m. at the James DeSana Center for Arts and Culture, 81 Chestnut Street, Wyandotte, MI 48192.

Tickets are $15 and may be purchased at the door (cash only) or in advance through Downriver Council for the Arts.
