Midwestern Gothic

World Premiere by Royce Vavrek & Josh Schmidt

Signature Theatre 2017

Director & Choreographer: Matthew Gardiner; Scenic Design: Misha Kachman; Costume Design: Ivania Stack; Lighting Design: Colin K Bills; Sound Design: Ryan Hickey

“Royce Vavrek and Josh Schmidt, are in the business in this Signature Theatre world premiere of piercing the flat surface of America’s heartland via a jagged new musical about ids unleashed with malice aforethought.” Peter Marks, Washington Post

“From square one, these characters are doomed to terrible destinies in the inevitable downward spiral so deliciously typical of the Gothic horror genre. Give Vavrek and Schmidt credit, they know how to drive a plot along a road to destruction and how to start digging when they’ve found what could be the basement of depravity.”- DCTheatreScene

“It’s nice to see a new play that takes some fresh risks with subject matter, and a musical to boot.”- City Paper
