Signal Ensemble Theatre presents the final production of their 11th season with the world premiere of their original musical, The Next Thing, by Signal Ensemble Member and Co-Artistic Director Ronan Marra and music and lyrics by Signal Ensemble Member Jon Steinhagen.

Kate and Conor, ambitious actors from opposite sides of the Atlantic, meet while co-starring in a Hollywood blockbuster and take an immediate disliking to each other. Naturally, they are paired together for more films. The Next Thing is a new musical that spans six years, five movies, four deals, three significant others, two Oscars, and one combustible relationship.

Performances run through June 7 on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m. Ticket prices are $20 for single tickets and $15 for industry/students/seniors/groups.
