When Andy’s best friend and bandmate Kyle suddenly dies, he does what any highly neurotic composer would do— he writes a show about it. What starts as a tribute spirals into a brutally honest, laugh-out-loud, and heart-wrecking journey through memory, music, grief, and friendship. With just a piano, a guitar, and a few ensemble members, The Real Kyle McCarren blurs the line between truth and storytelling, love and rage, and dead and not-so-gone.

It’s a buddy comedy.

It’s a eulogy.

It’s a rock show.

It’s the messiest mixtape you’ll ever cry to.
