1983. Chicago. It’s do-or-die for Verböten—a band made up of outsider teens with seriously complex home lives. As they gear up for a show at The Cubby Bear that is sure to change their lives forever, can they keep their parents from destroying the fabric of their self-made punk rock family? With lyrics and music by Verböten’s original guitarist Jason Narducy (Split Single, Superchunk, Bob Mould) and book by Brett Neveu (Odradek, Pilgrim's Progress, Traitor), Verböten is inspired by the true story of Chicago's own young punks.
Telling the true-ish story of how punk rock saved the lives of four Evanston kids in 1983, Verböten celebrates how music makes us less lonely and forges bonds that last a lifetime.
“Narducy’s songs find a nearly perfect balance between the anarchic spirit of early punk and the narrative-moving character work of musical theater.”— Chicago Sun-Times
