WEST BANK STORY
Book & Lyrics by John Bueche - Music by Marya Hart - directed by Maren Ward
Bedlam unleashes a historic new musical celebrating the life and times of Minneapolis' high rising, rabble rousing West Bank neighborhood.
Developed through two years of research, storytelling, wrangling and cavorting at a real Minnesota crossroads. Bedlam brings together 18 performers, a five piece live band, and an evolving revolving cardboard cityscape to portray one neighborhood in three pivotal time periods:
1898 - the time of Bohemian flats and Snoose Boulevard
1972 - a time for a new Co-op Movement and a New-Town-in-Town
2006 - a time of Little Africa and Tall Bicycles in a Minneapolis that's booming all over again....
West Bank Story - Everybody's Got One
Set Design by Julian McFaul - Costumes by Soozin Hirshmugl and Kristi Ternes - Lighting by Heidi Eckwall -
