Hands on a Hardbody – TYA Senior Company Fall/Winter
Eligible Grades: 9-12, TYA Alums, and College Students
Book by Doug Wright
Lyrics by Amanda Green
Music by Trey Anastasio and Amanda Green
For 10 hard-luck Texans, a new lease on life is so close they can touch it. Under a scorching sun for days on end, armed with nothing but hope, humor and ambition, they'll fight to keep at least one hand on a brand-new truck in order to win it. In the hilarious, hard-fought contest that is Hands on a Hardbody only one winner can drive away with the American Dream. Inspired by the true events of the acclaimed 1997 documentary of the same name by S.R. Bindler, produced by Kevin Morris and Bindler. This show marks another area premiere for Teaching Young Artists.
Directed by Stephanie Lynn Williams
Music Direction by Tiffany Underwood Holmes
