The Boy From Antimatter premieres in Buenos Aires

Scene from the premiere production of The Boy From Antimatter at the Lincoln Theater, Buenos Aires, April 2026. Jennifer Griffith at right.

From nine original songs by Lonnie McRorey and Alejandro Caputo, Jennifer Griffith developed, expanded, and arranged the scores for the piano-vocal version of The Boy From Antimatter, presented April 23–25, 2026 at Lincoln International School Community Theater in La Lucila, Buenos Aires.

Griffith also contributed lyrics for selected songs. The production’s score was subsequently arranged for guitar, piano, bass, and drums by Sebastian Aldea.

Created with writer/director Cliff Williamson and co-director Kelly Williamson, the production marked the work’s first staging.
