Stranger the musical

Stranger the musical STRANGER (formerly SCKBSTD) is an original musical by Bruce Hornsby with lyrics by Chip deMatteo and book by Clay McLeod Chapman.

STRANGER tells the story of a town transformed by a mysterious visitor. It’s about love, loss and fear in the wake of tragic events. STRANGER features a family in turmoil: a son growing up, a grandfather growing old and a husband & wife growing apart. They reach a tipping point when their small town is shaken by the presence of a creepy stranger cruising the streets in an old Dodge. It’s only afte

r a child goes missing, and the mystery of the stranger is solved, that the family realizes what they have and almost loss.

RENEWING OUR LICENSE: Everything that's old is new again. The Bruce Hornsby musical -- most recently known as STRANGER -- has a new/old name. It's SCKBSTD again. If you're a fan of the original name, you'll be happy to know it's back. But more importantly, the team is back working on the show. We've added a new writer/director to the team (the talented Joe Calarco) and we'll be doing a workshop this August at Signature Theatre just outside of Washington DC in Arlington, VA.

Most musicals take on a life of their own as they develop and SCKBSTD has had quite a life! We'll be back on Facebook telling you about the show and what the creators have been up to since last we posted. But to get the details, you'll have to pop back over to our SCKBSTD page. That's where the action is going to be from now on. So make your STRANGER page a stranger and reaquaint yourself with that old friend SCKBSTD on Facebook. And if you haven't liked that page yet, please do!
