GMTWP Alum and Adjunct Faculty Member Mindi Dickstein (Cycle 5) and GMTWP Alum Kirsten Guenther (Cycle 16) opened their new musical, Benny & Joon at the reknowned Papermill Playhouse in Millburn, NJ in April 2019. Dickstein penned the lyrics and Guenther the book. The music was composed by collaborator Nolan Gasser.
A musical adaptation of the 1993 film of the same name, Benny & Joon tells the story of a young woman dealing with mental illness and her big brother who’s determined to take care of her. When a charmingly eccentric stranger comes into their lives, he throws their world off-kilter.
