'33 1/3' To Have World Premiere At Dobama Theatre

From Dobama Theatre: Dobama Theatre proudly presents the World Premiere of the musical 33 1/3, running June 27- July 14, directed by Matthew Wright.

Jules McMillan is a middle-aged pop music critic living in present-day New York City and is known for his cynical, heard-it-all style. When Jules learns of the death of Jill, his best friend from high school, he revisits the LPs that he and Jill listened to as teenagers, and is thrust back into the year 1974. He re-lives their love of popular music and singer- songwriters as they muddle their way through adolescence.

Younger Jules finds small-town existence stifling and dreams of an exciting life in New York City. His is a coming-of-age and coming-out story. While Jules’ mother is in the hospital, his father is trying his best at home with his only son. Jules encounters Francis, an openly gay, Bowie-loving young man and romance begins to bloom as Jules slowly discovers and acknowledges his sexuality. Jules also encounters Victor, an angry young man from a troubled home who seeks relief by pounding on the drums in his basement. All four young people experience a tumultuous New Year's Eve and younger Jules makes a decision that will change his life and all those around him. For present-day Jules, re-living that moment sets him on a new path for the future.
