DANNY THESE DAYS, a new rock play by two Oklahoma writers, is making its world debut starting June 8, 2012 for a limited run. The show combines rock music with a modern script, in a unique musical hybrid. Between the broken washing machine and the broken relationships, there’s more than enough comedy and drama to fill up a basement. The music and lyrics are by Jacob Becannen, with a book by Rebecca McCauley. This is the second world premier production for Next Stage, an Oklahoma City based theatre group.
The show brings together one night, one basement, eight slices of pizza, twenty-four beers and six people with very different expectations. These days, Danny’s back in his mother’s basement, and back to the same job he had in high school, but rocking just like he always has. Will his family and friends change him or will he find a way to stay true to himself? As long as mom’s faulty wiring and Danny’s beer supplies hold up, it’s going to be a great night.
The cast of Danny These Days features Jacob Becannen, Abby Tresner, Cory King, Kaleb Bruza, Dana Hanley, and Rodney Brazil. The show is directed by Brett Young. Performances are June 8, 9, 15, 16, 22, and 23 at The Boom, 2218 NW 39th St. in Oklahoma City. All shows start at 8pm. All seats are $15.
