The Last Word

Playwright and performer Gamal Chasten’s newest project The Last Word is a light-hearted music-theater performance about a dysfunctional family coping with the loss of their father. Mixing the lively pace of a three-ring circus with the soulful spirit of a New Orleans jazz processional, Chasten explores the hopes, dreams and regrets of the family using a series of stylized scenes ranging from Vaudeville to classic musical theater to 50’s drama and reality TV.
