Tokyo International Players (TIP) is proud to announce a world-premiere concert reading of the original musical JOHN HEMSTOCK BLACK by Alexander Page, directed by Karen Pauley.
How far would you go to preserve your family's honor? To save a loved one from the cruelest of fates?

Playwright/composer Alexander Page cites classic dark comedies such as SWEENEY TODD and THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD as his chief influences; our thrilling, chilling concert reading of JOHN HEMSTOCK BLACK is sure to keep audiences right on the edge of their seats!
The cast of JOHN HEMSTOCK BLACK features TIP veteran Zack Kobayashi in the title role, alongside Paula Berwanger, Marie Buda, Jade Cartwright, Joan Chen, Julius Fuentes, Scott Hernalsteen, Tim Jeffares, Jonah Hagans, Laura Pollacco, and Georgia Ryder.
