Photo Flash: First Look at JASPER IN DEADLAND at Oregon Children's Theatre
17-year-old Jasper is struggling to make sense of his life. He's failing classes, was kicked off the swim team, and his family life is rough. When his best friend, Agnes, suddenly disappears, he discovers that she's been taken to the mysterious underworld of Deadland. He sets off on a mythological escapade to bring her back. Will he make it through this treacherous world filled with demons, gods, and monsters in time to bring Agnes back from the dead? Or will he be doomed to stay in Deadland forever?
Jasper in Deadland will kick off the 2017-2018 Young Professional season at Oregon Children's Theatre this fall. The Young Professionals will produce three shows at OCT's YP Studio, as well as other public performances throughout the season.
Check out a first look at the show below!
Loosely based on the myth Orpheus & Eurydice, Jasper in Deadland features a thrilling pop-rock score composed by Ryan Scott Oliver. The show premiered at the Los Angeles Festival of New Musicals in 2011 and has been produced at the West End Theatre in New York City and the 5th Avenue Theatre in Seattle. During its run at the West End Theatre, Entertainment Weekly described Jasper as "an electrifying surge of theatrical energy that has the potential to wake up New York from its deep creative sleep."
