Evolution Theatre Company announces the world premiere of "Breach" a new rock musical








PRESS RELEASE

WHAT: BREACH: A new rock musical
WHERE: Avenue Theater | 417 E 17th Ave. Denver, CO 80203
WHEN: Running May 6-27
CONTACT: Britta Lareebritta@evolutiontheatredenver.com, 720-233-3500

BREACH is a new rock musical about the most painful kind of birth: The birth of a pop star. 

Joanne Donetti is a singer-songwriter from Long Island who performs what she feels and does as she pleases, needing no more recognition than a few free drinks at the end of her wait shift.  That is until Lou Valentino, New York record exec and all-around go-getter, happens into her bar on an uneventful evening of scouting and catches her closing number.  Lou's interest in Joanne is her dream come true, but is his adoration for the woman he discovered or the star he wants to create?

Honest, raw, gritty, and surprisingly funny, BREACH examines the agreements we make in a world where both love and fame require a contract.  And with music inspired by the likes of Pink, Paramore, and Joan Jett, it puts on one heck of a rock concert in the process.

Featuring Amanda Earls and Jace Smykil; with David Nehls on keyboard, Scott Alan Smith on guitar, Jason Tyler Vaughn on bass and John Olsson on drums.
