Nashville Scene - October 22nd

Best Workshopped New Musical

Jim Reyland and Addison Gore's thoughtful, fanciful work about family and the important things in life had been sitting in the authors' trunk looking for a home. Then they decided to mount it DIY-style, in an elaborate staged read-and-sing at the Troutt Theater, directed by Barry Scott. With wonderful performances by people like John Warren, Sara Schoch and Lisa Gillespie, the show drew a packed, interested crowd. Now Reyland/Gore have gotten feelers from the West Coast. —MARTIN BRADY
