Folk-pop musical runs February 14 – March 10 on the campus of Oakland University
In this heartfelt and original folk-pop musical, two estranged brothers reunite at their
childhood home after their mother’s funeral. An unexpected revelation distorts every
memory they have, and as they uncover secrets that had been hiding in plain sight
their whole lives, Nate and Jeremy find that no one is exempt from the gray area
between right and wrong.
A Little More Alive runs February 14 through March 10, 2024, at Meadow Brook
Theatre (MBT) on the campus of Oakland University in Rochester Hills, Mich.
“I’m excited to share the Michigan premiere of this musical with our audiences,” says
Travis Walter, MBT artistic director. “So often, we can feel so sure we know what’s
going on, but this is one of those situations where just one piece of knowledge can
change how you view everything that’s happened, and may change everything to
come.”
Liam Fennecken (Broadway’s CHICAGO, viral TikTok contributor, and an “America’s Got Talent” 2021 quarterfinalist with vocal group T.3) and Noah Barnes play brothers Nate and Jeremy, with Melanie Frasca, Amber Hurst Martin, and Ron Williams rounding out the cast.
