DISCOVERY: A New Musical

DRAMA CLUB / NEW MUSICAL LAB

SEPTEMBER 24-27, 2026 | Lansing, MI

From the co-producers of the Tony Award winning Cats: The Jellicle Ball on Broadway, Discovery tells the story of the NASA astronaut corps after the 1986 Challenger tragedy and the lead-up to the 1988 launch of Space Shuttle Discovery. The musical follows Dr. Sally Ride on her journey from iconic astronaut to queer outsider speaking truth to power, alongside the astronaut corps' rocky return to space. It explores how catastrophe and grief can catalyze self-discovery, and reinvention. Curtis plays astronaut Charles Bolden in these workshop development performances.
