GIRLFRIEND Jan 24 – Feb 9 (Wed-Sat 7:30pm; Sun 2:00pm) Johnson County Arts & Heritage Center “Girlfriend,” based on Matthew Sweet’s 1991 rock album, is set in 1993 small-town Nebraska during the summer between high school and whatever comes next.
Girlfriend is set in 1993 small-town Nebraska during the summer between high school and whatever comes next. College-bound jock Mike and self-assured but aimless Will find themselves drawn to each other. Their rush of first-time love, full of excitement, confusion and passion, is captured by the power-pop precision and frayed guitar emotion of Matthew Sweet's alternative rock album "Girlfriend." Directed by Michael Grayman-Parkhurst with music direction by Pamela Baskin-Watson, Girlfriend features Dakotta Hagar and Jeremy Ragland.
ASL Shadow Interpreted performances of Girlfriend will be offered January 29 – February 2. Certified interpreters Lisa Lehnen and Juliana Ladd will perform all five performances that week. Shadow interpreting, in which interpreters “shadow” the actors, allows D/deaf and hard-of-hearing patrons the ability to take in both the sign language and the action simultaneously and offers a more seamless experience for the entire audience.
