Gutenberg! The Musical!
A Musical Comedy
July 10 - 18
By Anthony King and Scott Brown
Directed by Martha Banta
Join wannabe composers Doug and Bud on the most important night of their lives: a “backer’s audition” for real live Broadway producers! Never mind that they’re goofballs with the worst concept for a show ever: a musical about the inventor of the printing press, Johann Gutenberg. Doug and Bud gamely play Medieval European characters, from Gutenberg’s love interest Helvetica, to a sinister Monk with a cat named Satan who is determined to prevent the villagers from learning to read. Nothing is sacred and everything is silly in this quest for the printed word... and a Broadway contract!
