A brave new musical that weaves together drama, romance and comedy while exposing the anger and suffering of two veterans in their journey to hope.

Theatre Building Chicago has devoted 30 years to cultivating new American musical theatre by supporting writers, lyricists and composers, while staging over 125 new musicals in Chicago. Members of TBC's musical theatre writers workshop meet regularly to collaborate under the guidance of Artistic Director, John Sparks.
Members develop individual projects with select new works presented in the Monday Night Musicals series, as well as Studio Presentations, One Acts, Mini-Musicals and Stages, TBC's annual festival of new musicals in progress – all performed at Theatre Building Chicago. Alumni workshop member Dave Hudson (award winning lyricist & author of Muskie Love (Stages 2003); Bringers (Stages 2005) Main-Travelled Roads (Stages 2006) praised the workshop, saying "I have learned more in one year at this workshop than in all my other workshops combined and it has motivated me to write more now than I ever have in the past. There is nowhere in the world like TBC."
Theatre Building Chicago's musical program offers an array of works in multiple "stages" of development. TBC nurtures new works through its musical theatre writers workshop and through collaboration with theatre companies and artists across the country. Theatre Building Chicago welcomes media attention focusing on the developmental process of new musicals; however, all new musical works in progress are considered not appropriate for critical review. -- www.theatrebuildingchicago.org
