The American Crowbar Case

Critical praise for The American Crowbar Case:

From The Rogue Critic:

“In a single act spanning nearly ninety minutes, The American Crowbar Case is a fascinating marriage of conventional theatrical storytelling and abstract concert performance, whose disparate parts and meandering narratives are strung together with gossamer thread. The play bears little resemblance to a standard musical, but it acknowledges this and works in tandem with its surroundings to play with the form beyond its rich and engaging catalog of songs. In this bold production, the storytelling method jockeys for attention with the story itself, and every piece works on its own and as a part of the bigger picture.”
