ABOUT THE TRAIL TO OREGON!

THE TRAIL TO OREGON! is an interactive original musical from StarKid Productions, the company behind A VERY POTTER MUSICAL, NERDY PRUDES MUST DIE and THE GUY WHO DIDN’T LIKE MUSICALS. First performed in Chicago in 2014, the musical parodies the video game series The Oregon Trail and follows a family attempting to make its way west.

Audience participation plays a central role in each performance. The family members’ names are selected from suggestions shouted by audience members, who ultimately also choose which character dies of dysentery.

The production is led by director and Up Next Productions founder Clint Foley.

The creative team also includes Bailey Bagheri, Robert Angell, Nyah Vollmar, Jedi Katuala, Angeline Mirenda, Momma Sammu, Emily Sonderegger, Jack Cox, Xanthe Huynh, Brittany Bagheri and Abby Espiritu.
