John and Jen at the Jon Hassler Theater

The Jon Hassler Theater will host Nautilus Music Theater's production of John and Jen for four shows over the last two weekends of March. John and Jen (music by Andrew Lippa, music by Tom Greenwald) explores the complex relationships between brothers and sister and parents and children.

Set against the changing background of America between 1950 and 1990, Nautilus' production is a truly original musical, a tour de force for two actors who move from childhood to adolescence to adulthood and beyond, as they explore family connections, broken commitments, and the healing of the human heart.

John and Jen is staged by Ben Krywosz, and features Keri Rodau and JP Fitzgibbons, with Mindy Eschedor at the piano. Critics and audiences called this production "lovely, sweet, affecting - top-quality singing and acting - the score is emotionally ravishing and gorgeous beyond words - absolutely knockout performances - funny, poignant, smart - sung and acted to perfection - you'll hum a few new tunes on your way out of the theater."

John and Jen runs March 23, 24, 30, 31.
