Subject: Press Release for "Gutenberg! The Musical!"

 

Back by popular demand after being nominated for a MAC Award in 2018, this production of the hit two-man musical spoof is a special event in Southern Arizona Performing Arts Company's inaugural season of musical productions. Two desperate (and bravely untalented) songwriters perform a backers' audition for their new musical about Gutenberg, the inventor of the printing press. With an unending supply of enthusiasm, Bud Davenport and Doug Simon (portrayed by real-life brothers Carson and Tyler Wright) sing all the songs and play all the parts in their hilarious historical epic. There is even an interpretive dance with sewer rats!  Called "A smashing success" by the New York Times, Gutenberg! The Musical! went on to receive Lucille Lortel Award and Outer Critics Circle Award nominations for Outstanding Musical.

 

Gutenberg! The Musical! is brought to you by SAPAC and Not Those Wright Brothers and will perform a limited run at Unscrewed Theater, 4500 E Speedway Blvd, August 15-25, with shows on Thursday evenings and matinees on Saturdays and Sundays. Tickets are $25 each with discounts for students, teachers, and military. See www.sapactucson.org for tickets and more details.
