The project, which features F. Michael Haynie (Wicked) and Curt Hansen (Hairspray, Next to Normal), will be staged inside the Spencer Theatre Scene Shop May 13-24. Music is by Joe's Pet Project.

Stillwater is billed as an "angst-filled love letter to a generation." It weaves the stories of two love triangles or six twenty-somethings: a drug dealer, his recovering addict ex-girlfriend and the neighbor who is infatuated with her; along with a musician on the brink of stardom, his unfaithful girlfriend and her one-night-stand.

The ensemble cast will also feature David George, Shanna Jones, Ryan McCall and Emily Shackelford; as well as Midwestern band Joe's Pet Project, consisting of band members Tysen, Lance Gilchrist, Jason Hammond, John Hobson and Ryan McCall.
