The Company's autumn production brings recent Broadway favorite [title of show], which chronicles the trials of self-expression of two nobodies, named Hunter and Jeff, who decide to write a completely original musical starring themselves and their two talented actress friends, Susan and Heidi. This witty new musical celebrates the sometimes bittersweet process of productive creativity. [title of show], with music and lyrics by Jeff Bowen, and a Tony-nominated book by Hunter Bell, will be directed by Nick Mitchell. The show will run from November 7th through November 16th at The Grey Box Theatre in Lawrenceville, PA.

John Allen Biles, Founding Artistic Director, had this to share about the season: "We're thrilled to present two fabulous works from different musical theater eras that both tell stories of men and women thinking big and overcoming astounding odds to achieve their dreams. We call our season 'Dreaming Impossible Dreams' because in both stories, it is the daring ventures of our characters that make us root for them."
