March 25 — May 10, 2025
Be the first to experience the world premiere of All the World’s a Stage, a musical by Adam Gwon, the award-winning composer of Ordinary Days.
As a gay high school teacher in small-town 1990s America, Ricky Alleman knows exactly what part he needs to play. When an offbeat student enlists his help to win a statewide theater competition, his efforts tangle with the local church, and Ricky's carefully compartmentalized life starts to unravel. All the World's a Stage is a brand new musical about making connections and being true to ourselves, even in a polarized world.
All the World’s a Stage was commissioned and developed by Keen Company over a three-year process, part of Keen’s continued commitment to intimate musicals with big emotional impact.
All the World’s a Stage will run 105 minutes with no intermission.
