The Next Big Thing July 17, 2008

A world premiere rock musical with music and lyrics by members of indie band Breech ( indie-music.com's Top 25 CDs of 2007 for "Tarnish and Undress" and winner of the 2003 DIY Album of the Year with its release, "Apron Strings")
It's 1983, and Chip and his budding garage band are looking for the new sound that will take them to the next level - much to the dismay of Chip's mom, Melissa - a singer-songwriter from the '60s with a checkered past and a belief that good music is more than a simple hook.
