AGE OF POWER is a new musical about the battle between Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla to electrify the world. While Edison was America’s most famous and successful inventor, Tesla was an eccentric immigrant who arrived in New York with only four cents in his pocket. Their competition unleashed a vicious personal and corporate war to control the new technology of electricity.

Set in the Gilded Age, the story plays out as America is emerging as an industrial powerhouse. Women, minorities, and immigrants are demanding equality and Wall Street is giving rise to the mega-corporation.

AGE OF POWER is a musical for our times. Edison and Tesla are the perfect heroes for an era when the excitement and fear about new technology is a national obsession. The underlying themes of innovation, immigration, self-empowerment, and corporate responsibility are as current today as they were at the dawn of the twentieth century.
