ACCLAIM AWARD WINNER!
-SEASON'S BEST - CABARET

A co-production with Know Theatre of Cincinnati

February 4-14, 2007 at The Underground @ Know Theatre of Cincinnati

Featuring NSC Producing Artistic Director Alan Patrick Kenny, piano and vocals;
Brodie Johnson, cello; Fletcher Kaufman, percussion

NSC collaborates with Know Theatre to present the regional premiere of a genre-defying evening of theatre that is part one-man play and part chamber music concert but all about the pajamas. Songs from an Unmade Bed features NSC Producing Artistic Director Alan Patrick Kenny at the piano and singing 18 songs exploring the ruminations of a gay man living in New York City , looking for lust, love, and loneliness and rarely finding the right one at the right time. Supported by 2 musicians and songs composed by 18 of the hottest and influential composers from the worlds of Broadway, alternative rock, modern art song, cabaret, folk, and more, Songs from an Unmade Bed is a unique theatrical event that hits just in time for Valentine's Day.

"Comical and moving…An amusing and entirely unsentimental tableau of single life in the city… Campbell 's lyrics are witty, imaginative and at times seemingly very personal."

-Associated Press

“The show's resulting texture is unique and irresistible, and never fails to delight or surprise as each new composition is revealed in the course of this tightly packed, 60-minute musical stream of consciousness… Songs from an Unmade Bed is a dream of a show you won't want to wake from.
