Havok Theatre to open The Story of My Life
Up next for LA’s award winning Havok Theatre Company is the Broadway musical The Story of My Life, music and lyrics by Neil Bartram, book by Brian Hill. Directed by Nick DeGruccio, with musical direction by Michael Paternostro, the show will star Robert J. Townsend (Mamma Mia, Jekyll & Hyde) as Thomas Weaver and Chad Borden (Kiss of the Spider Woman, The Laramie Project) as Alvin Kelby.
The Story of My Life tells the story of two childhood friends and how their friendship profoundly defined their lives. Thomas Weaver is a best-selling, award-winning author. Alvin Kelby was his best friend for thirty years. But time can test the bonds of friendship, and when it does, Thomas calls on the only resource he has - his stories of Alvin - to learn where things went wrong. A richly melodic musical, The Story of My Life is a soaring tribute to the power of friendship and the people who change our lives forever.
Nominated for four Drama Desk Awards including Outstanding Musical, The Story of My Life will begin previews Wednesday, February 24, 2010 and will open on Friday, February 26 at the Lillian Theatre, 6322 Santa Monica Blvd. in Hollywood. For more information visit www.havoktheatre.com/.
