On Monday October 1, Jonathan will be reading the role of Marc in the new musical version of Ethan Frome. The creative team includes: Michael Ruby (Bookwriter and co-conceiver) , Adam Gwon (Composer-Lyricist) , Daniel T. Lavender (Director) , James Bedell (Designer) , Kathryn Lumpkin (Creative Associate and Producer), and Joshua Clayton (Orchestrations).
"Set against the romantic winter landscape of New England, the powerful and gripping drama tells the story of a love-struck farmer, cursed to endure a life of tragic circumstances because he chooses to submit to living within the perceived boundaries of American society. Married to the tyrannical Zeena, Ethan finds himself trapped in an unfulfilling life. When Zeena’s younger cousin Mattie comes to live with them, Ethan is driven by his star-crossed love for Mattie, which makes the pair suffer devastating consequences," according to production notes. Ethan Frome combines "traditional theatrical sensibilities, a timeless American story, and the momentum and excitement of modern musical theatre."
