Set over one transformative—and often hilarious—week at the group home, the musical follows Ajax, the longest-standing resident, Wren, a fresh face at the house, and others as they navigate self-discovery and the formation of chosen family.
Music by Sheridan Stevens
Lyrics by Michael Liebhauser
Book by Patrick Swailes Caldwell, Michael Liebhauser, & Sheridan Stevens
Concept by Elyse Edelman
Inspired by the interviews conducted by Elyse Edelman & Michael Liebhauser
Recommended for families with young people ages 11+ and theater lovers of all ages.
