The Kennedy Center presents the musical Once from July 7 - August 16, 2015, in the Kennedy Center Eisenhower Theater. The winner of eight Tony Awards including Best Musical and winner of the 2013 Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album, Once is based on the 2007 Academy Award-winning film with music and lyrics by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova. The production stars Stuart Ward as Guy and Dani de Waal as Girl. Once is recommended for ages 10 and older. The press opening night is Thursday, July 9, 2015 at 7:30 p.m.
ONCE is the musical about Guy and Girl meeting and falling in love. It is more than a love story, though. There are a lot of ups and downs and plenty of antagonists they have to deal with along the way. One of them is Eamon, the sound engineer at a recording studio. His own jaded past threatens the future for Guy and Girl. We recently caught up with John Steven Gardner, who plays Eamon and he shared his unique road to the role and how he feels about living the dream.

In theatre, the phrase 'triple threat' describes a performer who can sing, dance, and act (often all at once!). But how do you describe a performer who does all of this while juggling a half-dozen instruments, stage combat, and various accents? As a cast member and music captain on the national tour of ONCE, John Steven Gardner can do it all.
