Sneak Peek
Synopsis
In Search of Tonto Blue
is a musical, multimedia roller coaster ride into the inner sanctum of three mildly mad characters.
Soulful, silly, and surrealistic,
this theatrical search for identity will take you down the back roads of your imagination.
Meet Arthur A. Peterson,
a quiet, nondescript, middle-aged Everyman, who believes his calling is to find fame and fortune by becoming a pop culture icon.
In the vein of a modern myth
the production tracks the trials and tribulations of this faceless and voiceless man as he leaves his sheltered life to make a sojourn in search of a persona he believes will make him famous.
While finding entry into
the technological world of pop culture is no easy feat, Arthur unexpectedly connects to his unknown alter ego, Tonto Blue, and finds not only an identity—but a voice.
