EVANSVILLE, IND. (02/21/2024) After a hugely successful Off-Broadway run at Playwrights Horizons, STEREOPHONIC, by David Adjmi, is headed to Broadway in April with three University of Evansville alumni attached to the production. Two 2003 UE classmates are involved in producing this Broadway premiere, Nick Mills is a lead producer along with UE Assistant Professor Wes Grantom. In addition, recent graduate Miriam Cortes ’21 will make her Broadway debut with the production as the Assistant Costume Manager.
Loosely based on Fleetwood Mac and their seminal album “Rumours,” STEREOPHONIC mines the agony and the ecstasy of creation as it zooms in on a music studio in 1976. Here, an up-and-coming rock band recording a new album finds itself suddenly on the cusp of superstardom. The ensuing pressures could spark their breakup-or their breakthrough. Written by David Adjmi, directed by Daniel Aukin, and featuring original music by Arcade Fire’s Will Butler, STEREOPHONIC invites the audience to immerse themselves-with fly on-the-wall intimacy-in the powder keg process of a band on the brink of blowing up.
The Broadway production of STEREOPHONIC begins previews at the Golden Theater, in New York City, on April 3 and will open on April 19.
The University of Evansville is a private, comprehensive university located in the southwestern region of Indiana. Established in 1854, UE is recognized across the globe for its rich tradition of innovative, academic excellence and vibrant campus community of changemakers.
