On A String

Salt Lake Premiere

On a String follows a Juilliard-trained violist navigating New York’s freelance music scene, juggling quirky gigs, lingering family life, and complicated relationships while chasing an elusive big break.

Isabel Hagen’s debut blends dry humor, authentic musical detail, and relatable themes of ambition and inertia. Critics praise its wit, realism, and precise comedic timing, though note its meandering pace and understated climax.
