With March almost upon us, the time has come for me to start planning out my project for Script Frenzy. This year, I’m working on a new musical called…
THE INCREDIBLE JASON CONNOR!
Here’s the basic gist of the show;
Central City is a city in danger, a city filled with terrified people, a city that needs a hero. Enter Jason Connor; a humble geek (he prefers the term “comic book aficionado”) who works at a juice bar called “The Squeeze”. Jason’s life seems to be on track to be pretty unremarkable until he’s struck by a bolt of radioactive lightning (thanks, in part, to a nuclear power plant on the edge of town) and becomes the superhero he always wanted to be. However, he quickly discovers that sometimes being a hero means sacrificing a lot. When his life begins to crumble down around him, Jason will have to decide if being a hero is worth giving up a life that’s starting to look pretty incredible.
It’s going to be a very self-referential show that’s chock-full of cliches (of both the musical and comic book form). I can’t wait to start working on it, it seems like it’s going to be a lot of fun!
