This American Life: One Night Only

This American Life uses this evening at BAM as a chance to try something it’s never attempted before: an evening of true stories staged as radio dramas. A handful of these will be staged with actors, musicians, and sometimes dancers. One of the stories will be an original mini-musical by Broadway composer Lin-Manuel Miranda, creator of the musicals In the Heights and Bring It On. In another, The Monica Bill Barnes Dance Company will perform while Glass narrates. Stephin Merritt (The Magnetic Fields) is writing and performing a mini-musical of his own, built around a real story from This American Life, and Mike Birbiglia will narrate another true story in his inimitable comedic form.
