Posing as the band, God's Country a group of left-wing activists have infiltrated the Christian Republican Fundraiser in Dayton, Tennessee.  Armed with only "three chords and the truth", they are intent on having their opinions heard.  

Plans begin to unravel when the group encounters Deborah, the smart and sassy virgin who is hosting the event along with her shotgun-wielding father Jennings. When Jackson, the rugged lead singer attempts to seduce Deborah, she sees through their plot and threatens to tell her father.  


The band must decide: is this political action worth risking their lives? And even if they are heard, will they only enrage the staunchly conservative audience?


A musical about country music, politics, and the values that can bring together even the most disparate groups.

RUNS JULY 2 - 13, 2008
