Show Description

Set in late 2000’s New York City, Ordinary Days tells the story of four young New Yorkers whose lives intersect as they search for fulfillment, happiness, and love. Through a score of vibrant and memorable songs, their experiences teach us that ordinary moments can carry profound meaning. 

 

This fully sung-through musical runs about 90 minutes without intermission. With equal doses of humor and poignancy, it celebrates how individual stories combine in unexpected ways to make New York City such a unique and extraordinary home. Our four characters (Warren, Deb, Jason, and Claire) search for identity and purpose while learning to appreciate beauty in simple experiences, finding meaning in the ordinary.

 

What we’re looking for: Strong musicians who can sing in a contemporary musical-theatre style while embodying these unique and relatable characters. 

Character Descriptions

 

Warren
