Can the power of theatre convince a small town to overcome its prejudices? That’s what’s at the heart of “Small Town Story,” American Theater Group’s new musical based on actual events. “Small Town Story” is making its debut at South Orange Performing Arts Center, and we’re at rehearsal to find out more from the team behind this meaningful show.

PF: 92Y Lyrics & Lyricists — Frank Loesser: Lyricist
Before lighting up Broadway, Loesser was a Hollywood lyricist. David Loud guides us through the early work with Hoagy Carmichael and other songwriting greats.
David Loud’s unique way of getting inside a song’s lyrics promises unforgettable reimaginings of some of Loesser’s greatest gems. We’ll shine a rare spotlight on his Hollywood collaborations with Carmichael, Jule Styne, Burton Lane and Jimmy McHugh, and offer a fresh look at songs from Guys and Dolls and Loesser’s Broadway best, as we celebrate the versatile genius of this most inimitable fella.

Swamp Gravy | Georgia’s Official Folk-Life Play
Episode 843: Swamp Gravy : Planet Money : NPR
Colquitt, Georgia has a population of about 2,000 people. And like a lot of small towns in America, Colquitt had been struggling with a shrinking population, and the departure of manufacturing, and the decline of farming, and all the other economic troubles that plague small towns. And then Joy Jinks stumbled across a bizarre way for the town to try and save itself.
