Description
Originally conceived by composers Steve Thomas and Mark Brownell in 2000, The Barbecue King was initially developed in small sections at the Alumnae and Tarragon Theatres. The Barbecue King became a bit of a period piece as the middle class characters represented here have been steadily priced out of cottage country by the Kurt and Goldie's of the world. It is a light musical comedy.
In addition to The Barbeque King the evening opened with Stabat Martha, a piece that celebrates Steve Thomas and Mark Brownell's first collaboration in 1996. This piece was written as a tribute to the "to do list" calendar at the beginning of Martha Stewart Living Magazine. Nominated for a Dora Award it was a part of the Martha Stewart Projects. From the award-winning "Martha Stewart Projects" which premiered at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre in 1996.
