DESCRIPTION

Director/Choreographer: Michael Restaino
Producer: The Actors Studio of New Jersey
Casting lead: Adriana Negron
Production Manager: Dan F. Sims
ASM: Joey Palazzo

ASNJ's inaugural performance reimagines American Idiot with a garage-band style production. Some performers will double as musicians, playing instruments live on stage. This approach aligns with ASNJ's mission to put a unique spin on existing works, creating a raw, energetic, and intimate experience.

American Idiot follows three disaffected young men, Johnny, Will, and Tunny, as they struggle to find meaning in a post-9/11 world. The show, based on Green Day's Grammy Award-winning multi-platinum album, features every song from the album as well as several from its follow-up release, 21st Century Breakdown.
