*FINALISTS FOR THE AMERICAN THEATRE WING’S 2023 JONATHAN LARSON GRANT*
A trilogy of musical, theatrical work for evolving artists and audiences.
“Despite decades, perhaps centuries, of dire predictions about theater’s longevity, I just saw convincing evidence its future is assured. The proof was on stage every minute “ALiEN8,” a musical by Kate Brennan and David Lee White, was being performed at New Hope’s Bucks County Playhouse last weekend.” – Read the full review in US 1 here.
- “We cannot wait to stage another Brennan & White creation. The collaborative process was so valuable for our students. They felt seen and heard. The entire show supported them and their age group as contributing and valuable members of society. You two remind the theatrical world that educators are also theatrical professionals. Some of us choose to delight in the energy of teens. We have made our niche in a world that others cannot tolerate or have patience for. Thank you for allowing us to ‘find our people.'”

“ALiEN8 is a force to be reckoned with and a reminder that GREAT art is being produced all over the country. David Lee White and Kate Brennan have written a musical that features young people at the heart and center with actual opinions and an actual voice. This piece is creating inter generational conversations about gender and sexuality but most all, love and acceptance.” – Director Jorge William Donoso
