Gird your loins! The acclaimed rock musical Cindy of Arc is back!
Cindy of Arc, is about the problem men have with lying and where that’s gotten the rest of us. Think American Utopia but with expletives, politics, religion, dogs, Nazis, ten songs, no David Byrne, and no Utopia. And no choreographer. And no money. And it’s a comedy. And we wear our shoes. But otherwise, very similar.
Cindy of Arc was a finalist for the 2023 Richard Rodgers Award for Musical Theater and has appeared to critical acclaim from coast to coast.
“A thoughtful, intelligent, and laugh-out-loud event... That stage is her bully pulpit and she knows it, making use of every square inch, every spotlight, every applause, and every chance she’s given to exercise her voice (and) demonstrate her deep talents.” -Maryland Theatre Guide
“Brilliant... a special blend of the poppiest of Jello Biafra and Mojo Nixon’s Prairie Home Invasion political satire cuts, folded into Lauren Weedman’s comedic musical commentary whipped with the stalwart feminist political devotion of The Raging Grannies.”- NW Theatre
"Cindy of Arc unequivocally ROCKS her audience with her music, identity and searing
wit...Outrageously hilarious." -DelcoCultureVultures
“Kaplan straps on a guitar and starts dismantling thousands of years of history with jokes, power chords, and one blisteringly funny song after another.” -Provincetown Magazine
