Evansville Civic Theatre invites you to join us for opening night of Season 101 with the Musical - Next to Normal with book and lyrics by Brian Yorkey and music by Tom Kitt. 

This rock musical explores how one suburban household copes with crisis and mental illness. Dad's and architect; Mom rushes to pack lunches and pour cereal; their daughter and son are bright, wise cracking teens, appearing to be a typical American family. Yet their lives are anything but normal because the mother has been battling bipolar disorder for 16 years. Next to Normal takes audiences into the minds and hearts of each character, presenting their family's story with love, sympathy and heart.
