Loving Repeating

A Musical of Gertrude Stein

Music by Stephen Flahery
Lyrics by Gertrude Stein
Adapted and Directed by Frank Galati
A co-production with the Musuem of Contemporary Art

How prettily we swim. Not on water. Not on land. But in love. --Gertrude Stein

The Tony Award-winning creators of the blockbuster musical Ragtime -- composer Stephen Flaherty and Chicago's own Frank Galati -- are reunited for this endlessly fascinating chamber musical about one of America's most original writers, Gertrude Stein.

Loving Repeating explores the romantic world of Gertrude Stein -- her giddy love affair with language, with self-expression, and with Alice B. Toklas. Loving Repeating is a theatrical love song to one of the most lyrica, romantic, and daring writers of our era, created by two of the most important artists working in the American theatre.
