A truly original musical honoring brothers and sisters, parents and children, set against the background of the ever-changing world of mid-century America, "John & Jen" is a gem of a show brimming with intelligence, wit, and beautiful melodies. This is the story of Jen and her relationships with the two Johns in her life; her younger brother, who was killed in Vietnam, and his namesake, her son.
As the country becomes divided over the war in Vietnam, so does the family, and battle lines are drawn between the once-close siblings. When John is killed in Vietnam, Jen is left to reconcile her memory of their fractured relationship along with her son who is trying to find his way in a confusing world.
