Fearing failure, humiliation, and post-secondary options, an elite high school Quiz Bowl team makes a deal with the Devil. A modern retelling of the classic Faust tale, this musical reflects on the dangers of academic stress and institutional hegemonies while affirming the joys of collaboration, friendship, and self-determination.
The More You Know was a semifinalist for the 2023 Eugene O’Neill National Music Theater Conference.
