"This amazing, true story is fascinating, full of adventure and sheer determination. But that's not the entire show - it's not a traditional storytelling experience, it's a musical. Garry Eister wrote and composed songs and music that are interwoven to the story. It's like musical theatre, where the songs carry the story forward and carry insight into the characters. And, he's funny. And a consummate musician and composer. It's very exciting to have this unique talent here for Wine Country Theatre"
Cynthia Anthony, Executive Director of Wine Country Theatre.
