Jasper in Deadland at Jack and Darlene Poole Theatre at Arts Umbrella

Book by Hunter Foster and Ryan Scott Oliver, music and lyrics by Ryan Scott Oliver

Run Time: Approx 2 hrs including intermission

Jasper in Deadland tells the story of 16-year-old Jasper, who journeys into the Afterlife to rescue her recently deceased best friend, Agnes.  But in this version of the hereafter – known as “Deadland,” a hybrid of mythology, religion, and superstition – the dead forget Life… And so, too, will Jasper, if she can’t get past the seven circles of Deadland, fearsome Cerberus, heavenly Beatrix, mysterious Mx. Lethe, and ultimately herself. Can Jasper bring her best friend back from the dead, or will she join the dead forever?
