LIMBO: The TwelveLIMBO: THE TWELVE is Kendall and Bauerfeld's most recent original musical. After a short lifetime of battling opiate addiction and burning bridges, Tess Butler is dead. Now, it is up to twelve people from her life to come together and decide whether or not she’s worth saving. Tess can only bear witness as they reconstruct her life, uncovering secrets, confronting hard truths, and slowly reaching a consensus. Life, or death. Rest, or redemption. LIMBO: THE TWELVE opened to 4 and 5 star reviews at the 2019 Edinburgh Festival fringe, described as "Exquisite and intricate," "incredibly warm, funny, and painful," and "everything you want from new musical theatre."

LEGACY: THE BOOK OF NAMES is Kendall and Bauerfeld's show from the 2018 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. It is a one hour long story of a day on Ellis Island. We follow a group of immigrants from the moment they step off the ship onto the island, until they are eventually let into America or turned away. When riots in New York shut down all ferry traffic to the island, our group of immigrants must stay longer than they bargained for. LEGACY: THE BOOK OF NAMES opened to 4 and 5 star reviews at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2018, heralded as "a near perfect tear-jerker of a musical." (All photos by Justin Barbin) |
