Stew’s currently an artist-in-residence at Stanford’s new Creativity and the Arts program, and over the last month, he workshopped the musical on campus, while students observed and took part. His residency (the first of its kind at Stanford) culminates next week with two performances of Passing Strange, a rock musical that traces a search for belonging from LA to Europe and back again.
Passing Strange was commissioned by the New York Public Theater and the Berkeley Repertory Theater, and will premiere in their 2006-07 seasons. Next week, it plays at Stanford’s Roble Studio Theater, Fri March 10 & Sat March 11 at 8 PM. For tickets, TED attendees should call 650.736.4127 or email Bill Bragin: bbragin (at) publictheater (dot) org.
