Adventures in the Great Beyond is a new pop-rock musical about a rebellious Gen Z young woman who drops out of college to find herself. She crosses the country and checks into an ashram in the middle of the Arizona desert. This truth-seeking student of the new age, as taught through social media memes, hopes to discover the meaning of life by following a gregarious guru and a band of soul- searching pranksters, right out of central casting from a Burning Man Festival
Her over-bearing mother hunts her daughter down. And in a comical kidnap scheme, tries to rescue her daughter from cult culture. Hoodwinked into confronting her own journey of self-realization, mother and guru develop a frolicking passion for harmony and understanding in this lifetime, and the next.
In this 90-minute pop-rock musical, the stage is set for a divine comedy of karmic proportions. For soul-searchers of all ages, with a few tales of love, with musical numbers about meditation and miracles, karma and reincarnation, Adventures in the Great Beyond is a refreshing romp through life in the Age of Aquarius.
