"The answer's in the sky…" With the success of its August and September shows, STARRY - a new pop-rock musical about brothers Theo and Vincent van Gogh - has been extended at Rockwell Table & Stage both October 7th and over Thanksgiving weekend, November 23rd and 24th at 7PM.

'Paint what you dream...' From the musical writing team Dahan & D'Angelo (The Count of Monte Cristo: The Musical) comes STARRY - a new pop-rock musical about brothers Theo and Vincent van Gogh.

Set in the 1840s, 'The Trail To Oregon!' follows the All-American, dysfunctional family as they set off from Independence, Missouri to head out west in search of a new life in the greatest place on earth... Oregon! What the clueless pioneers don't count on is that they'll have to face every obstacle imaginable along the way, from snake-bites, to bandits, to dysentery! It's the original cross-country road trip... from hell! Loosely inspired by the popular, retro computer game, 'The Oregon Trail,' this raucous, raunchy, musical spoof features 6 performers, 13 songs, multiple possible endings, and a heaping helping of audience participation. With the live audience not only naming all the people in the wagon party, but also choosing which family members they'd like to see die, no two performances of 'The Trail To Oregon!' will ever be the same.
