tick, tick…BOOM!

by Jonathan Larson

Jon lives in a constant state of free fall, trying to balance two different worlds that he is a part of. We see the real, non-artistic world through Jon’s headspace, and his anxious, fast-paced view shapes much of the show. Using sound to build the real world that Jon lives in day to day brings the story to life and creates contrast with the artistic world where he is truly in his element and free from life’s restraints.
