South Opens This Week

"South" opens at Dixon Place this week! Come and check it out. Here's the draw:

It's a beautiful and hilarious nautical journey set in 1860 on the north coast of South America aboard a leaky merchant ship, the Worthy. As you may have heard, it's got a sailor, a cook, a captain, pirates, lesbian cannibals (the good kind), a monk, nuns, filthy townspeople and bandits. There may be more, a lot happens. Of course it's got that music I write; lyric-driven tunes that celebrate the tricky aspects of life. It's accompanied by guitar, ukulele, accordion, percussion, autoharp, marxoharp and upright bass.

It's a full production in an intimate space.
We have an excellent ensemble cast:
Carmen Borgia
Alison Davy
Michael A. D'Emidio
Sadrina Johnson
Robb Sherman
Dan Shuman
Doug Skinner
Bill Tost

It's been brilliantly directed by William Bradley Pace and choreographed by Kriota Willberg. The whole shebang was commissioned by the new Dixon Place for their state-of-the-art theater because they thought people oughta see it.
