<H2>The singer and the song are waiting for you...</H2>
<H2>The company that brought you the Jeff Award winning production of High Fidelity, Refuge Theatre Project presents The Last Session set in a recording studio!</H2>
<H3>A "hilarious and heartbreaking" Off Broadway sensation and cult hit, The Last Session gathers singers and an offstage engineer in a recording studio to record a new pop/gospel album with an old friend, faded pop star, Gideon. But the mix is dramatically altered by the unexpected arrival by a Bible thumping, homophobic gospel singer. All of them are deeply connected to Gideon yet are unaware that he carries a big secret: that he plans to end his struggle with AIDS after the session. Harmony is restored through friendship and the power of music.</H3>
"The Last Session is screamingly funny, yet love is everywhere. Written from the heart, Schalchlin's gospel tinged pop tunes exert a rare emotional pull and Brochu's story telling allows them to emerge realistically out of the action. Again and again, a fierce drive takes and overtakes the tunes melodic strains. It's life taking hold again - hope rising on powerful wings." - Los Angeles Times
Book by Jim Brochu; Music and Lyrics by Steve Schalchlin; Additional Lysics by John Bettis and Marie Cain. Directed by Jeff Award winner Christopher Pazdernik.
