Unstable Connection

Unstable Connection Play Poster

K-M Drama is currently in rehearsal for Unstable Connection , the spring production. If the title sounds familiar it’s because the production was presented last year as a film.  Writer and director Jay Thornton has teamed up again with singer-song writer Rheanna Atendido in re-working the production into a live musical production.  Along with Thornton and Atendido, Heath Thompson (vocal director) and Adam Rupert (production sound engineer) will work closely on bringing the stage production to life.  Joining the production team is Michael Transier who will assist with video production needs that the show requires. 

Set in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic,  Unstable Connection tells the humorous and heartwarming story of a handful of high school students as they navigate the ups and downs of remote learning and the social isolation that living in your bedroom breeds. The show opens May 19th and runs through May 22, 2022 in the Kent-Meridian Performing Arts Center.  All shows begin at 7pm and tickets will be available at the door.  The cast includes the following K-M students and Staff member:
