CSC to Present Nick Blaemire and Ethan Slater's EDGE OF THE WORLD in Concert July 16

Classic Stage Company (Jill Rafson, Producing Artistic Director) has announced a one-night-only concert presentation of EDGE OF THE WORLD, a new musical with a book, music, and lyrics by Nick Blaemire and Ethan Slater. Edge of the World will be held at CSC’s Lynn F. Angelson Theater on Tues July 16 at 7:00 PM. For tickets and more information, please visit: www.classicstage.org. Edge of the World launches CSC’s Old Friends, New Classics series, which offers company-affiliated artists an opportunity to present their latest material. Old Friends, New Classics is supported by Matt Benjamin and Yeeta Yeger. The cast of will include Slater as Ben, Norbert Leo Butz as Henry, and Lilli Cooper as Kath. They previously appeared on the concept album of produced by Broadway Records and will reprise their roles for this performance. When young Ben (Slater) and his father Henry (Leo Butz) move to a geological research outpost in rural Alaska, the only other person for hundreds of miles is a fellow researcher named Kath (Cooper). Ben uses his imagination to cope with his new surroundings, but as he learns more about the circumstances that brought him into isolation, the line between lie and reality begins to blur. It's a sweeping, handmade fable about the world we’re given, and the one we make for ourselves. Press contact: Sarah Sgro/Print Shop PR (sarah@printshoppr.com)...
