May We All
Performance Dates: August 8-10 and 15-17
Directed by Kyle Legore
MAY WE ALL takes you to Harmony, Tennessee, “The Town That Sings”, where music used to flow through every part of town like the water supply, but lately hope is drying up.
Two years ago, when local sensation Jenna Coates left Harmony to pursue her dreams of stardom as a Country singer in Nashville, her family and friends saw nothing but success for her ("Born To Fly"). Now, Jenna is broke with no job prospects. She returns home to retrieve her Grandmother’s guitar, a special family heirloom that is worth a great deal of money. Her plan is to sell the guitar and return to Nashville as soon as possible.
