The world premiere of Mister Miss America—written and performed by Neil D’Astolfo—begins previews July 6 at the Rattlestick Playwrights Theater, ahead of its July 11 opening night. The show was originally slated to close July 31 but has been extended through August 7.
The show takes place at the 86th Annual Miss Southwestern Virginia Pageant and follows Derek Tyler Taylor (D’Astolfo) who’s ready to claw his way to the top. But victory is hard-won, and Derek has to decide how far he’ll go to earn the crown.
Tony Speciale directs the show, which features scenic design by Se Hyun Oh, costume design by Hunter Kaczorowski, lighting design by Kate McGee, sound design by Sun Hee Kil, and choreography by Christopher Campbell. TaTyana Smith serves as production stage manager, and Sheree V Campbell as assistant stage manager.
D’Astolfo developed Mister Miss America through the AFO Solo Collective. The production by All For On Theater is presented by special arrangement with Rattlestick Playwrights Theater.
