Ordinary Days

The Gatehouse

Set in New York City in the early 21st century, Adam Gwon’s charming four-person musical follows an aspiring artist, an ambitious grad student, and a young couple in love who are all trying to find the answers to life’s questions: What is my “big picture?” Why can’t I let things go? Where am I going and how will I get there? Why can’t life be more like art? Our production will embrace the little things, reminding us that we are all pieces of a much bigger story than we might have first imagined.

Ordinary Days is a portrayal of four New Yorkers who lives intersect as they search for fulfillment, happiness, love and cabs. When the ever-optimistic Warren finds Deb’s notes for her grad thesis, the two set in motion a series of events that not only change their lives, but the lives of fellow New Yorkers Claire and Jason. When Deb loses her most precious possession—the notes to her graduate thesis—she unwittingly starts a chain of events that turns the ordinary days of four New Yorkers into something extraordinary. Told through a series of intricately connected songs and vignettes, Ordinary Days is an original musical about growing up and enjoying the view.
