Bandits on the Run are also in the business of writing musicals! They are currently creating the stage musical adaptation of the novel What's Eating Gilbert Grape with actor-musician-longtime-friend Christopher Sears and newfound friend Academy Award Nominee Peter Hedges, supported by MCC Theater. The Bandits are also developing a fully original musical, Yukon Ho, about a group of Black prospectors in the Alaskan gold rush. Yukon Ho was researched on the ground in Skagway, Alaska with support from the NEA, in collaboration with Prospect Musicals. They are alumni of several musical theater writing development programs, including Berkeley Rep Ground Floor, Rhinebeck Writers Retreat, and the Johnny Mercer Songwriters Grove at Goodspeed Musicals. Bandits on the Run frequently write for film, tv, theater, and beyond. If you're interested in wrangling the bandits for your project, reach out!
