Four Tri-City actors are cast in Green Day’s American Idiot, which wraps up its run Sunday at the Centennial Theatre in North Vancouver.
Coquitlam’s Erin Palm, Ryan Horton and Tiana Pazdirek as well as Brianna Kim of Port Coquitlam are in the musical, with choreography by former PoCo resident Emily Matchette.
Directed by Richard Berg with music from Rob Hamilton, the Tony Award-winning show — presented by the Vancouver theatrical company URP — tells the story of three childhood friends who rise to become one of the most successful punk rock bands in the world.
And although the album and musical of the same name were a response to the George W. Bush administration in the years after 9/11, URP has updated the setting to reflect today’s political situation under President Trump.
