Adam Gwon's Ordinary Days will be peformed from June 10, 2010 to June 27, 2010. In this Regional Premiere of a new musical, four young New Yorkers? lives intertwine, sometimes knowingly and sometimes when they haven?t even met. Lost thesis notes; confetti fraught with fortune-cookie wisdom; loves sought, avoided, won and lost all combine to turn ordinary days and Ordinary Days into something extraordinary. Playwright/composer Adam Gwon won the 2008 Fred Ebb Award for Musical Theatre Songwriting. When Ordinary Days played in London, What?s Onstage called it 'brilliantly written.'

There are four performers in the new musical Ordinary Days - four people, that is. Award-winning composer Adam Gwon says there's always a fifth character lurking.
