About the show
Missed Connections is a new student-written folk musical from Northwestern University, presented by Los Angeles Theatre Initiative at the Upper Theatre (Thrust) during Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025. Set in rural Kentucky in 1997, the show takes place on the last day of Southside Bar before its demolition — exploring unrequited love, small-town drama, and what the future holds for a community. The show runs for 60 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged 12 and over.
Why see this show?
A tender slice-of-life folk musical rooted in a specific time and place — rural Kentucky on the brink of losing its heart. The combination of new writing and live folk music makes this an affecting piece of ensemble storytelling about community and change.
