Stew

Stew is a one-night-only concert featuring composer, rock musician, playwright, and performer Stew Stewart in an intimate underground-cabaret setting. He performs an hour-long selection of songs spanning his early work with Stew & The Negro Problem, the 2008 Tony Award-winning Broadway musical *Passing Strange*, and other albums and shows he has written and performed over the past fifteen years.

A Tony Award-winning and two-time Obie Award-winning playwright and performer, Stew is also a critically acclaimed singer-songwriter and veteran of dive-bar stages. His work reflects a strong interest in experimental and indie theater, as well as collaboration across cultures and artistic disciplines. His recent projects include scoring the award-winning *New Yorker* short documentary *Criminal* with collaborator Heidi Rodewald, teaching musical theater writing at Harvard, creating the live show and album *Notes from a Native Song* inspired by James Baldwin, and writing music for film and television. His credits include collaborations with director Spike Lee and composing “Gary Come Home” for *SpongeBob SquarePants*.
