SUMMARY:OUT OF THE BLUE -- Book and lyrics by Erin Hunsader\, Music by Haesun Suh
DESCRIPTION:Book and lyrics by Erin Hunsader\, Music by Haesun Suh \nOUT OF THE BLUE opens with sarcastic\, 16-year-old Jenny awaiting the results of her pregnancy test. When the results come back positive\, Jenny’s normal\, Midwestern life is turned upside down. \nHer rocky relationship with her adopted Mother\, Iris quickly becomes rockier once her secret is discovered. And\, while Jenny struggles making a decision regarding the pregnancy\, she also starts to wonder about her birth mother who she never knew- she was adopted when she was six from an orphanage in South Korea. \nFinally\, she declares she is going on a quest to South Korea to find her ‘real mom.’ Iris insists on going with her and the two feuding family members encounter more than they expected through funny scenes set in an unfamiliar landscape. Still\, the quest reveals answers to Jenny’s past while helping her decide what to do about her future. \nOUT OF THE BLUE takes place in the 1990’s before a woman’s right to choose was taken away. \nOn WPW Backstage by Mike Fischer \nFrom South Korea to Green Bay: Musical Out of the Blue Sings Universal Story to Bridge the Divide \nBlame Mom

SUMMARY:DEAR THEO: THE LETTERS OF VINCENT VAN GOGH
DESCRIPTION:FERMAT’S LAST THEATER CO.  \n— \nMelvin Hinton will read from the letters\, Maggie Schenk will narrate\, with violin music from Diana Wheeler and many\, many images. \nNo artist is held in higher esteem than Dutch artist Vincent Van Gogh. His paintings appear not only on museum walls but on tee shirts\, coffee mugs\, and posters around the world. But to know the paintings and drawings is to know only one aspect of his genius. He wrote an estimated 2000 letters in his short life\, more than 600 to his brother Theo\, an art dealer in Paris\, who often supported Vincent financially and carefully preserved their correspondence. Many of them contained sketches as well. The letters document Vincent’s turbulent emotional life\, his wide and deep reading\, and his artistic development. And his belief\, despite a lack of commercial success\, that he was in fact\, a great artist. “You know the fireflies in Brazil that are so luminous that in the evening ladies stick them into their hair with pins. It’s very fine\, fame\, but see\, it is to the artist what the hairpin is to those insects.” —Vincent Van Gogh\, Arles\, 1888 \nOn WPW Backstage by Mike Fischer\nThe Arts Generate A Lot of Money.
