A Musical Love Story

NextStop celebrates our 30th anniversary with a volunteer production of a beautiful French fable about a man who walked right through the walls that confined him.

In 1988, our company was founded as the Elden Street Players, with the vision of being a new kind of community theatre that focused on bold artistic choices and a higher standard of excellence. To celebrate 30 years of gathering for great live theatre in Herndon, NextStop presents this special community production event. Amour welcomes back some of our greatest artistic collaborators to mount a beautiful, unique and little known Broadway chamber musical about a lovelorn Frenchman who learns he has the ability to walk through walls.
