Another Sign, a musical by Mike White and John Citrone

“Another Sign” approaches homelessness from several angles:  through the compassionate eyes of a young woman who falls in love with a struggling homeless musician, through the jaundiced eyes of her hardworking (and hard-nosed) grandfather, and through the weary eyes of those living on the streets.  We hope to shine a light on the many reasons for homelessness, beyond society’s simplified version that casts the country’s homeless -- nearly 700,000 people -- as drunken, drug-addled victims of their own irresponsibility. The message will be subtly woven into a gritty love story, with the protagonists trying desperately to cross a raging gulf of classism and prejudice.

3.5 million Americans will experience homelessness this year. 60% of them will be homeless for at least 6 months.
