You know, it’s weird when you wake up in the morning and realize that your entire adult life was based on a decision made by a teenager. A stoned teenager.

Passing Strange is the story of a young musician who sets out on an electrifying musical odyssey to find himself and his place in the world, swapping his middle-class LA upbringing for punk rock and protest in 1980s Amsterdam and Berlin.

Fresh off its critically acclaimed smash engagement in the UK, Liesl Tommy’s “astonishing” (City Times) revival comes to A.R.T., with Olivier Award-winner Giles Terera (Hamilton) leading the cast in his North American debut.
