Canterbury Summer Theatre brings the music of the heartland to its stage with Country Is: The Music of Main Street in Concert, performing July 17th - 27th.
The show, conceived by Rick Seeber, is a down home, good-time theatrical concert celebrating traditional themes.
From the timeless classics of Tammy and Patsy to the anthems of Dolly and Garth, Country Is showcases uniquely American music resonating with the lives of hard-working, hard-living, hard-playing people as they navigate love, regret, faith, and joy. Featured is the work of George Strait, Tim McGraw, Alan Jackson, Miranda Lambert, John Denver, Willie Nelson, and more.
Canterbury newcomer, Garnett Vires, will stage the production. John Berst is the music director.
Choreography is by Astrophel Herr.
The cast includes J. Cole Becton, Noah Bryant, and Angel Purl.
