director’s note

nexttonormalholds a special place in my life: it originated at Village Theater, situated in my hometown of Issaquah, WA, a town not known for much more than a salmon hatchery and hosting Costco headquarters. I bring my love for this home to Stanford, reimagining n2nthrough my own found families and creating space for my Asian American community to have space in conversations of mainstream musical theater and mental health.

Designing the world of n2ncame hand in hand with designing community care. With themes of mental struggle, the difficult medical system, chosen family, blood family, and more, this musical bore more weight than any other project I’ve embarked on before. At its core, this show is about how the traditional nuclear family interrupts introspective healing, but invites us to love outside of these systems. It warmed me and made my role as director so rewarding to see this company bond together over baby pictures, silly rehearsal moments, and deep dramaturgical conversations. The family of AATP supplemented the family you see onstage today — the golden memories, the darkest moments, and the forged connections that illustrate new homes.

I want to thank everyone in this community who made this dream possible. Especially to Hope, my dream collaborator, friend, and “theater buddy” since we were first admitted to Stanford together. To Jin-Hee, my role model and unstoppable co-leader who I aspire to continue creating with . To Bri, the glue behind this entire show and the kindest soul. To Nathan, the musical genius who I have the highest honor of working with. And lastly to my own family, who always encouraged me to create, lead, and dream without bounds.

As you witness this production, lean into your memories: the ones we hold dearest to us, the ones we are tired of pushing aside, and the ones that have escaped our grasp. Hold these close, and your loved ones closer: welcome home.

– Chloe Chow

nexttonormaltackles so much in the span of hours – the nuclear family, the creation of homeplace, the mirror between a mother and daughter, the common violence of the psychiatric encounter. but, i want to take a moment to reflect specifically on diana’s experience of psychosis. in some finnish cultures, psychosis is often framed as existing not within one individual, but rather existing in relationships and words exchanged between people. is diana ‘mad’, or is her reality of grief just fundamentally disconnected from dan’s avoidance? how is dan’s reaction to diana’s reality part of constructing diana’s madness? is diana’s madness not just a rational response to a grief that willfully goes unseen?

i hope this show prompts you to think deeply about the ways in which we care for one another. how can we think beyond medical systems and understand the homes we build, the kinship ties we make, and the care we extend to each other as healing?

taking guidance from mia mingus, i understand disability not as a hindrance or a lack, but as a call for us to listen to each other closely, advocate for each other fervently, meet each other gently, and care for each other deeply.

just as there is danger in pathologizing and prescribing cookie cutter treatments to human experiences, there is incredibly powerful healing in community, in seeking to understand each individual and their needs and allowing oneself to be understood, so that we all might help each other heal together. we all deserve to be heard. we all deserve to heal. we all deserve a home that nourishes us as we grow.

– Haniyah, Samantha, Miranda

vocal director note

How lucky I feel to be here, and how thrilled I am for our audience to see this work we've put together. I was both excited and terrified to tackle nexttonormalbecause of how close it hits to home, but this made me want to share this story all the more –a story of home, family, mental health, our capacity to love and accept love.

The cast made this process a joy. All twelve individuals brought a unique and beautiful sound to our collective song, and I'm deeply proud of the dedication I saw in the rehearsal room, day after day.

Incredibly thankful to explore storytelling through song with my best friends, old and new. Further thanks to:

Chloe, a long-time peer idol of mine and now one of my best friends. I'm in awe of her and the way she's crafted this telling with empathy and fearlessness;

Trip, Emily, Aarushi, the greatest team: each brilliant vocalists and teachers who poured their hearts into it all, from conveying the heart of our characters to nailing crunchy harmonies;

Nathan, my incomparably wonderful partner in music-making here and the coolest person ever;

the entire n2n family for embracing me with a warmer hug than I could have imagined. I'm home here.

– Jin-Hee Lee

music director note

The scope of what this incredible team undertook in this beast of a production cannot be understated. There were technical hurdles — the complexity of putting on such an intricate and fast paced musical in such a small theater — as well as unavoidable mishaps — our scores arriving just weeks before tech week and me getting covid during tech week. And then there’s the music — an exciting amalgamation of rock, punk, jazz and folk that is as dizzying and unpredictable as Diana’s story itself.

This production will forever live on as my favorite for its incredible people: They are kind, they are unabashedly loving, they are genuine and caring, they are family. They are insanely talented — a true Avengers squad of Stanford’s best theatre makers, musicians, actors and singers.

A special thanks to: Chloe, whose fire and soul has been my inspiration since my first theater productions at Stanford,

Jin-Hee, whose talent is unfathomable and heart immeasurable, Brandon and Holly, who are brilliant, incredibly cool, and so, so patient…

Daniel, who should get an award just for putting up with me, Lisa, the hardest working and best AMD I could’ve asked for, My pit, some of the best musicians I know.

And the many, many more whom I love, whom I’m so lucky consider home.

– Nathan Sariowan

hair & makeup designer note

Working on next2normalunder the guidance of the Asian American Theater Project was a dream come true. It was my first time designing make-up and hair for a company production, so I’m incredibly grateful to Chloe, Bri, and the rest of the company for trusting me in the process. To the cast you’re all lovely and such incredible talents; thank you for letting me play with your faces. Finally, to the wonderful assistants by my side, I’m so grateful for your help and literally could not have done it without you.

set designer note

Our goal was to embody Diana’s dynamic perspective of homeplace and mirror her psyche as it progresses throughout the play.

– Andrew Yung

Much love, Zaki <3
