Music and Lyrics by Zoe Sarnak
Book by Alexis Sheer
Directed by Maggie Burrows
Join us for a sneak peek into the original songs and artistic process behind Northern Stage's first-ever commissioned musical work: Shook. High school thespians have been preparing for the highly anticipated National Shakespeare Competition for months, and Mia, always second fiddle, is ready to take first place by storm. Shook takes us on a rollercoaster ride through song and sonnet, foes turned friends, kingdoms lost and won...and at least one good showmance. Don't miss our first look into the deeply human world of Shook, and a chance to meet its award-winning creative team: Zoe Sarnak, Alexis Scheer, and Maggie Burrows (director of The Sound of Music).
Chayes says, "Shook was our very first commission through the Helen Gurley Brown Foundation, and it centers around a topic very dear to Northern Stage: the power of Shakespeare to transform the lives of young people. We feel so lucky to be able to host this team in Vermont as they embark on the writing of this original musical, and we can't wait for our audiences to meet them and hear a few sneak peeks."
