Gutenberg! The Musical! by Anthony King and Scott Brown
This hilarious new musical tells the story of Bud and Doug, two best pals putting on a show together because they just love each other so damn much.
Dive into the uproarious world of Gutenberg! The Musical! – a side-splitting sensation that imagines the comic mishaps of two aspiring playwrights staging a musical about Johannes Gutenberg’s invention of the printing press. With catchy tunes, clever humor, and a playful twist on history, this show is a rollicking celebration of creativity and the passion of amateur dramatics. Don’t miss your chance to laugh, sing, and experience a delightful theatrical romp that proves the pen – and the musical – is mightier than the sword!
Directed by Kady Richey
Music Directed by David Zych

Characters
DOUG SIMON is an innocent. He’s a naive, utterly sincere and earnest man who never met a cause he wasn’t passionate about. He’s a jack of all trades, master of none, who compensates with an infectious, matter-of-fact energy and focus that would probably sound condescending if he weren’t so likable. He’s incredibly proud of the show he wrote with Bud, and thinks Bud, whom he adores, is a genius.
BUD DAVENPORT is an innocent. He’s eager to please, and thrives on approval. When Bud sings one of his songs, he’s reveling in his own “brilliance.” But he’s too naive to be a true egomaniac; if anything, he’s overly grateful for the mere opportunity to create and perform. Bud enjoys getting caught up in Doug’s passion and admires his friend’s Big Ideas.
GUTENBERG! THE MUSICAL! is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals. www.concordtheatricals.com.
