This deeply-moving, intelligent, and truly original musical takes an intimate look at the complexities of familial relationships set to the backdrop of a changing America from the 1950s to the 1990s.
Jen has two major relationships in her life, her brother and her son. Once extremely close, the Vietnam war tears Jen and brother John apart forever. Later, Jen names her only son John and tries to make up for past mistakes to the consternation and alienation of her son.
With a powerful score by Michigan’s own, Andrew Lippa ("The Addams Family," "Big Fish," "The Wild Party"), it’s a story about connections, commitments, and the healing of the human heart.
Directed by Artistic Director, Jeff Thomakos, with music direction by Daniel Bachelis, “john & jen” features Kristy Glass (member Actors' Equity Association) and Jared Bugbee.
