The standing ovation Next to Normal received validated an evening of superb quality storytelling that foretells a magnificent run.
“We’ve been waiting to produce NEXT TO NORMAL for years,” says Mark A. Rhea, Keegan’s founder and artistic director. “For obvious reasons – the complexity and truth in the writing of these characters, the intimacy of the storytelling, the intensity and beauty in the music – this is a natural fit for Keegan.”

We’re thrilled to produce a play about women, politics and the media, in our Nation’s capital, during an election season. AMERICAN DAUGHTER, while set in the 90s and about a Surgeon General nominee, couldn’t feel more relevant to us than it does right now.”
