All The World’s A Stage
Book, Music, and Lyrics by Adam Gwon
Directed by Jonathan Silverstein
“Gwon is an emerging master of musical theater” — Metroland
March 25 — May 10, 2025
Be the first to see the world premiere of a new musical by Adam Gwon (Ordinary Days, Scotland, PA) about being true to yourself in a polarized world.
All the World’s a Stage is a funny and heart-wrenching new musical centered around a small-town math teacher who reluctantly agrees to coach a misfit student for the 1996 State Thespian Competition. Enter the teacher’s new outspoken boyfriend and the devout school secretary, and he soon has trouble navigating his carefully compartmentalized life.
All the World’s a Stage is the culmination of a three year commission and development process between Keen Company Artistic Director Jonathan Silverstein and composer Adam Gwon. The team previously collaborated on Keen Company’s first New York revival of Adam Gwon’s Ordinary Days which was nominated for the 2019 Drama League Award for Outstanding Revival of a Musical on Broadway or Off-Broadway.
All the World’s a Stage will run 105 minutes with no intermission.
