From staff reports
The 2021-22 Clarion University Theatre season will continue from Feb. 23 to 27 with the award-winning musical “[title of show].” This show will be presented at 8 p.m. Feb. 23 to 26 and at 2 p.m. Feb. 27 in the Marwick-Boyd Little Theatre.
Created by writer and actors Hunter Bell and Jeff Bowen, the witty autobiographical script is practically a love letter to musical theatre.
The premise of the show is simple: Two nobodies (also named Hunter and Jeff) in New York join forces to write, in the words of one of their songs, “a musical about two guys writing a musical about two guys writing a musical.”
“The backstage story is a standard trope in American Musical Comedy, from “42nd Street” through “Kiss Me Kate” and “Gypsy. [Title of show]’ is different, as the show portrayed behind the scenes is the actual show that the audience is watching,” said Robert Levy, director. “A number of years ago, a few students ran into my office demanding that I listen to this new score. I was intrigued and excited by it and was determined to present the show.
