Experience Green Day’s AMERICAN IDIOT

Equal parts house party, opera, rock concert and theater, ArtsWest’s immersive, environmental staging explodes the idea of the traditional theater space, as a group of lost young Americans take over an entire building and use it to tell their story.

The Story
When Johnny, Tunny, and Will flee the constraints of their hometown for the thrills of city life, their paths are quickly estranged as their attentions become divided – by familial obligations, seductive love interests, the armed forces, and the struggle to find meaning in a post-9/11 world none of them could have imagined.
Based on Green Day’s Grammy Award-winning multi-platinum album, this electric-rock opera of youthful disillusion will ignite your senses and stir your soul.

There are two distinct ways to experience American Idiot at ArtsWest – via two different types of tickets:

IMMERSIVE – a dynamic, interactive experience
