Emerging Artists Theatre Presents CRAZY: FOR JONGHYUN

Emerging Artists Theatre will present CRAZY: for Jonghyun written by Susan W Chamberlin and directed by Graydon Gund. The workshop production is part of the 2022 New Work Series. Performance takes place at TADA Theatre in Manhattan on April 6, 7 pm. Also presented on April 6 are Within Us by NewBrese Dance and Main Character Syndrome by Kelsey Rondeau.

Jonghyun's tender lyrics of longing and charismatic stage presence made him millions of fans worldwide. A Kpop stan, Helen, calls on Jonghyun for help with her own desperation. The two spar over questions of love and life in a disconnected world. A dark comedy about suicide, CRAZY: for Jonghyun asks, "Can the dead save the living?"

The cast features Isabelle Garbani as Helen; Kevin Dwan as Jonghyun; and Olivia Massiah as Lucy.

Tickets are $20 and are available at www.emergingartiststheatre.org. Performance takes place at TADA Theater, 15 West 28th Street (between Broadway and 5th Avenue), 2nd Floor (elevator accessible), New York, NY 10001. Subways: N/R/1/2 to 28th Street, B/D/F/W to 34th Street.
