Bloomington Playwrights Project & Indiana University proudly present Maggie Cassidy (book, music and lyrics by Chris Jeffries, based on the novel by Jack Kerouac) a new musical this May as part of the BPP & IU New Musical Series.
Maggie Cassidy presents a new and unfamiliar look at Jack Kerouac, before he wrote the American classic On the Road and became the father of the Beat Generation. The forces that shaped him—tensions surrounding his religion, his cultural economic background, and an America struggling to find itself again after the fall of the Great Depression—are all present and at play. Maggie Cassidy is the powerful story of a great American author coming of age.
Playing May 18, 19, 24 – 26 & May 31 – June 2 at 8pm & May 20 & 27 at 2pm at the Bloomington Playwrights Project. Buy tickets at the Buskirk Chumley Theater Box Office.
Cost: $15 - $18
