EXTENDED STAY -- a new musical by Jenny Stafford and Scotty Arnold

Experience the first fully staged production of EXTENDED STAY, an audience favorite from WoW’s 2022 festival of new musicals. Written by Jenny Stafford and Scotty Arnold, this intimate, folk-inspired chamber musical follows Emma, newly sober and working at an extended-stay hotel in rural Indiana. She strikes up an unlikely connection with Owen, a long-term guest who rarely leaves his room. But when his adventurous childhood friend Ethan arrives, their delicate balance is thrown into question. With a heartfelt, singer-songwriter score, Extended Stay explores the bonds that can heal—or break—us.
