Tickets Now Available for Transgender-Themed New Tuner Southern Comfort Off-Broadway

Tickets are now on sale for the transgender-themed new musical Southern Comfort off-Broadway. Directed by Thomas Caruso and based on the film by Kate Davis, the production will feature a book and lyrics by Dan Collins and music by Julianne Wick Davis, and was conceived for the stage by Robert DuSold and Thomas Caruso. The show is scheduled to begin previews on February 23, 2016 and will run through March 27 in the Public’s Anspacher Theater. Opening night is set for March 7.

Southern Comfort tells the true story of a group of transgender friends living life on their own terms in the back hills of rural Georgia. Winner of the Jonathan Larson Award, the folk and bluegrass-inspired musical is a celebration of redefining family and choosing love over every obstacle.

The cast will include Annette O’Toole, Jeff McCarthy, Lizzie Hagstedt, Jeffrey Kuhn, Elizabeth Ward Land, David M. Lutken, Morgan Morse, Robin Skye and Joel Waggoner. Donnie Cianciotto and Aneesh Sheth round out the company after an open call to the transgender community and a nationwide search for submissions.
