“Explosive... offers a variety of musical genres, from love ballads to indie-rock anthems, with stories of love, hope, murder, resilience and connection, as told by misfit children, reckless adults, and various assorted creatures.” – DC Theater Arts
“Each song... is a photograph, capturing a moment in time, a story, a slice of a person's life, and each of these tales springs forth from the mind of Mr. Iconis in ways wonderful, whimsical, and even a little bit wicked.” – Broadway World
Songs bring stories to life in Family Album, a collection of character songs from the point of view of artists, eccentrics, and monsters of both the fantastical and real life variety. Think of it as an anthology of short stories set to music. Written by Joe Iconis, composer/lyricist of the Broadway phenomenon Be More Chill as well as Things To Ruin, Bloodsong of Love, Punk Rock Girl, and The Untitled and Unauthorized Hunter S. Thompson Musical.
Out of the Box Theatre Company has been bringing edgy, thought-provoking, quality musical theatre to the Santa Barbara stage since 2010. Featuring a cast of local singers and a live rock band, Family Album is rock and roll storytelling at its finest.
