Safety Not Guaranteed
Based on the film written by Derek Connolly
Music and lyrics by Ryan Miller
Book by Nick Blaemire
Directed by Lee Sunday Evans
An inventive musical reimagining of the cult-classic film hits the Harvey stage, featuring music by Ryan Miller of Guster. When Darius, an entry-level journalist, sets out to report her first story about a classified advertisement offering the opportunity to go back in time, she begins an odd and endearing relationship with Kenneth, the eccentric man who placed the ad. From two-time Obie Award-winning theater director Lee Sunday Evans (Home, Farmhouse/Whorehouse, Dance Nation, Oratorio for Living Things) comes a unique live interpretation of the beloved indie movie, adapted for the stage by Nick Blaemire (Glory Days, Space Dogs).
