“Edges” is a song cycle about four burgeoning adults asking classic coming-of-age questions. Written by Tony-nominated Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (“Dogfight,” “James and the Giant Peach”) in their sophomore year at the University of Michigan, this charming, witty and honest examination of adulthood explores what happens when individuals are teetering on the edges of their lives.
The musical is under the direction of Brandon Ivie, who recently made his off-Broadway directing debut with Ryan Scott Oliver and Hunter Foster’s “Jasper in Deadland” and directed the world premiere of “Lizard Boy” at the Tony Award-winning Seattle Repertory Theatre. Michael Jordan, ONU lecturer in music, will serve as music director.
The cast includes Riley Alexander, a sophomore musical theatre major from Ottawa, Ohio; Briana Biffath, a senior musical theatre major from Hilliard, Ohio; Anne Cape, senior musical theatre major and arts administration minor from Naples, Fla.; Elena Coleman, a junior musical theatre and public relations major from McKees Rocks, Pa.; David James Grant, a senior musical theatre major from Medina Ohio; Garrett Hill, a senior musical theatre major from Ridgeway, Ohio; Katie Hotz, a junior musical theatre and communications major from Millbury, Ohio; Joey Nicoletti, a sophomore musical theatre major from Cleveland Heights, Ohio; Patrick Riley, a sophomore musical theatre and public relations major from Findlay, Ohio; and Megan Timmons, a sophomore musical theatre major from Greenwood, Ind.
