The innovative "sound scaped" musical by Nancy Carlin (book
and lyrics) and Michael Rasbury (music and lyrics) will also be
featuring direction from celebrated New York theatre and
opera director David Schweizer (Troilus and Cressida at Lincoln
Center, The Mines of Sulphur at New York City Opera). Schweizer has also directed productions at
Second Stage Theatre (Wintertime), New York Theater Workshop (Song From An Unmade Bed), PS
122 (Price Point), and the Paper Mill Playhouse (The Importance of Being Earnest starring Lynn
Redgrave).
Max Understood is an invitation into the life of a 7 year-old boy with autism. As Max embarks on a
transformative odyssey beyond the confines of his parents' apartment, his unique perspective
reveals the beauty and mystery of the world around him. The musical was part of The Eugene
O'Neill Theatre Center's National Musical Theatre Conference in the summer of 2008, and was
inspired in part by composer and co-lyricist Michael Rasbury's son Max, who is autistic.
Joining Quinton, Winther, and Sherman in the cast are Tricia Burns, Ramiz Monsef (Eurydice at
Second Stage), Mary Mossberg (world premiere of Frank Wildhorn's Wonderland), and Ali Stroker.
The production will also feature scenic design from Caleb Wertenbaker, costume design by Clint
Ramos, and lighting design by Justin Townsend.
Max Understood runs from September 28th to October 7th at the 45th Street Theatre (354 West
45th Street), and will play the following performance schedule: Monday, 9/28 at 8pm, Thursday,
10/1 at 1pm, Saturday 10/3 at 4:30pm, Saturday 10/3 at 8pm, Sunday 10/4 at 1pm, and
Wednesday, 10/7 at 8pm.
