Random Access Theatre is proud to present the world premier of the new musical Pinwheel!, a whimsical 1920s tale freely adapted by Caroline J. Prugh and Artistic Director Jennifer Sandella from the play by Frances Edwards Faragoh. Originally staged at The Alchemical Theatre Laboratory in March/April of 2015 the production featured direction by Sandella, an original score by Geoff Barone, and choreography by Esther Widlanski. 

​This frenetic Jazz Age musical follows one woman’s struggle to find her place in the American Dreamscape. Torn between mundane domesticity and a glittery life in Hollywood, The Jane embarks on a frenzied journey to satisfy her cravings for a richer life. Emotionally charged and culturally relevant, Pinwheel!
 raises poignant questions about gender, societal roles, and the elusive nature of the American Dream. It is a story that is at once erotic, comic and tragic as it examines our dissatisfaction with cultural norms in our quest for authenticity.
