ei hytte
An a cappella musical set in a remote Norwegian cabin

During an unseasonable blizzard, two strangers become trapped inside one of Norway's many off-grid public cabins. Without access to electricity, phone or internet service, the hikers wait out the storm. Veronica is a true crime author, and Colin is a warehouse worker. Neither are inclined to reveal too much about their personal lives beyond that. Pressured by the forces of the unseen Valkyries, the strangers push each other to their breaking points.

ei hytte (the cabin) was performed at Steppenwolf's 1700 Theatre as part of the Chicago Musical Theatre Festival on Saturday, August 10 at 8 pm. Directed by Noah Watkins. Music Directed by LaRob K. Rafael. Produced by Kokandy Productions.
