DARLIN' CORY at Alliance Theatre

Set against the backdrop of 1920s Appalachia, DARLIN CORY is a haunting new musical by playwright & novelist Phillip DePoy (EDWARD FOOTE) and Grammy Award winner Kristian Bush (TROUBADOUR). In a tiny mountain town with no road in and no road out a community carries secrets of all sizes. But when a young woman with ambition and intelligence collides with a pastor deeply committed to preserving the status quo, cracks begin to appear in the towns well-constructed faade. And when a stranger appears with a mysterious backstory and the best moonshine anyones ever tasted some of those secrets threaten to spill. With an original folk-country score, this modern-day myth inspired by local lore promises to leave audiences on the edge of their seats.
