3Girls Theatre Company presents:
SOUTHERN LIGHTS
A Country Music Romance
December 5 - 22 at Z Below
Written by Lee Brady
Directed by Andrea Gordon
Musical Direction by Robert Beifus
3 Girls Theatre transforms Z Below into the intimate, down-home east Texas Crossroads Bar for an all-new revival of Lee Brady’s beloved country music romance. Bring your friends and family and raise a glass to the story of Callie and Lonn, whose passionate teenage love affair was shattered by the very public tragedy of Callie’s parents, country music legend Cash Callendar and his much-wronged wife, LouAnne. This musical is a country song—about true love, success, betrayal, the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune–and the joys and perils of a classically doomed romance. An evening of surprises, passion and fireworks!
