News Release

‘American Idiot’ Opens At Clackamas Community College May 21 (Photo) - 05/07/26

OREGON CITY – Clackamas Community College’s Theatre Department will present Green Day’s musical “American Idiot” as its spring main stage production.

The two-time Tony Award-winning hit musical, based on the Grammy Award-winning multiplatinum album, boldly takes the American musical where it’s never gone before. This high-octane punk rock opera includes every song from Green Day’s album “American Idiot” as well as several songs from its follow-up release, “21^st Century Breakdown.”

“American Idiot” follows three disenfranchised friends – Johnny, Will and Tunny – fleeing suburban boredom for city life. Amidst post-9/11 paranoia, they face disillusionment, war, drugs and romance in a raw quest for meaning. It is a story of rebellion, lost innocence and finding individuality in a hyped-up, “idiot” America.

Directed by Allison Moon with musical direction by Dave Cole, “American Idiot” features a dynamic ensemble of CCC students, with scenic and lighting design by Chris Whitten, prop design by Allison Moon, costumes by Aiden McFarland and choreography by Wesley Roberts.

“American Idiot” runs May 21-31, Thursdays and Fridays at 7:30 p.m., Saturdays and Sundays at 2:30 p.m., in the Niemeyer Osterman Theatre, 19600 Molalla Ave., Oregon City.

The community is invited to an opening night reception in the Niemeyer Lobby on May 21 at 6:30 p.m., featuring music by Tokyo Joe and complimentary refreshments with the purchase of a ticket. Those who attend the opening night reception will be entered into a drawing to win Green Day merchandise.

Tickets are $18 for adults, $16 for seniors (62+) and free for all students. Tickets are discounted by $1 if purchased online. Visit www.clackamas.edu/theatre or call 503-594-3153 for reservations.
