Ordinary Days at Mosesian Center for the Arts

A vibrant and original musical, Adam Gwon's Ordinary Days focuses on four New Yorkers struggling to navigate the concrete jungle in search of satisfaction. This production from The Opposite of People, a new theater company in the greater Boston area, brings the off-Broadway hit to the stage of the Arsenal Center for the Arts. One of the theater's most acclaimed and exciting new voices, Gwon has crafted a series of related songs and vignettes that begin to intertwine when a student loses the notes to her graduate thesis. This incident brings her into the orbit of an aspiring artist and a couple who've just moved in together -- all trying to find fulfillment, happiness, love and ever-elusive cabs. Ordinary Days is a witty, refreshing and affecting reminder that it's possible to change the lives of people who -- due to our increasingly anonymous world -- we may never even meet.
