On learning of his mother’s death, country music icon Strings McCrane (Driver) finds himself in an existential tailspin. The only way out, he decides, is to abandon superstardom in favor of the simple life, so he moves back to his hometown in Tennessee. The simple life turns out to be anything but simple in this brilliantly observed tragicomedy, as the consequences of Strings’s success and mind-bending effects of his fame prove all but impossible to outrun.
The creative team for Hold on to Me Darling will include Walt Spangler (scenic design), Suttirat Larlarb and Lizzie Donelan (co-costume design), Tyler Micoleau(lighting design), and David Van Tiegham (sound design). Casting is by The Telsey Office - Will Cantler CSA and Karyn Casl CSA, with Wagner Johnson Productions serving as General Manager.
