Suburban
Dreams
Columbia Gorge Repertory
Theatre presented Stephen Thompson's new musical
Suburban Dreams and Judd Blaise's hilarious, historically
inaccurate farse, The Private Life of Sir Isaac Newton at
the Producer's Club Theatre II, 616 9th Avenue, between 43rd and
44th Streets in New York City from May 6 - 30, 1999. Jesse
Merz directed both productions.
Suburban Dreams is a funky commentary on modern society - a
rock musical with traditional musical theatre themes, as well. It takes
place in Average, USA, where everyone is the same and happy -- on the
surface. Underneath it all is a corrupt mayor, sly journalist, high school
kids who aren't angels, and a school system with a habit of burning books.
In walks Jeff Douglas, a 23 year old idealistic teacher who tries to change
the system. Eventually, a sex scandal rocks the high school and turns
Average upside down.
