JOHNNY AND THE DEVIL'S BOX Comes to Rockwood

Johnny, a young fiddler from the mountains, must contend with a death in the family, the threat of the law, a hijacked fiddle contest and the loss of his true love on his way to becoming the greatest fiddle player anyone has ever seen. But how will he fare against the greatest threat of them all, the Devil himself? Inspired by the myths of fiddlers' dealing with the Devil, the piece takes a hard look at the association between a virtuoso's egotism and hellish temptation. Written by Douglas Waterbury-Tieman with direction by John Hurley, choreography by Jennifer Jancuska, music supervision by Scott Wasserman and music assistant direction by Matt Cusack.

Recent developments include a Rough Draft Workshop at The Drama League in collaboration with "Jennifer Jancuska + The BringAbout", a residency at Goodspeed's Johnny Mercer Writer's Colony, and an upcoming Spring workshop to be announced soon.
