Insignificant Others
Also known as
- ISO
Insignificant Others is an original musical by San Francisco composer and lyricist, L. Jay Kuo. This romantic comedy follows the stories of five friends—Margaret, Jeannine, Kristen, Jordan and Luke—who move to San Francisco from the Midwest. Through hilarity and heartbreak, the friends rediscover the bonds they have to one another.
ISO’s Development
ISO began as a staged reading in May of 2005 in San Francisco. Following that reading, ISO received an AIRspace (Artist in Residence) award from the Jon Sims Center for the Arts, where it underwent its second workshop. In October of 2005, ISO received a prestigious Theatre Bay Area CA$H grant and staged four workshop performances at the Jon Sims Center in January of 2006.
The workshops caught the attention of The New Conservatory Theatre Center, and in July of 2006, it played to sold-out houses for five straight weekends during the summer of 2006 as part of NCTC’s in-concert series, under the direction of George Quick. ISO was awarded Best Original Musical Script by the Bay Area Theatre Critics Circle for 2006.
