Help us kick off our Appalachian Playwriting Festival with an exciting concert! Our Voices of the Mountains concert will feature the bands Lucky Streak and Hot Duck Soup. All proceeds will go towards our beloved playhouse as we close out our 77th season.

Brian Gurl & Carlann Evans may have been trained classically, but this performance will be anything but! Join us for a thrilling night featuring exciting rearrangements of everything from Billy Joel to Broadway and Tangos to Ragtime!

Pianist Brian Gurl hails from Lebanon New Hampshire and is most known for his powerful instrumental arrangements – fusing elements of jazz, classical, pop, Latin, and Broadway. Brian has garnered rave reviews from audiences and critics nationwide- including from pianist Roger Williams. His gift of perfect pitch was discovered by his father one day when Brian asked “Why is the lawn mower running in the key of G?”.

Carlann Evans is originally from Cleveland, Ohio, and now lives in Sarasota – performing with the renowned Sarasota Orchestra FL for over 20 years. Carlann has studied piano, clarinet, and other woodwinds and began violin lessons at 16 – eventually completing her Master’s degree from the University of Texas at Austin. She has performed throughout much of Spain and has toured throughout the US.

Brian and Carlann have been performing together for over 12 years and promise to light up your evening with a mosaic of exquisite artistry, stunning versatility, joyful sense of humor, engaging personalities, pure excitement, and rip-roaring fun!

Family loyalties, long-hidden secrets, and the freeing power of finally telling the truth are explored in this dark comedy. Roger McElroy wrote an incredibly successful novel 30 years ago and has not published anything since. When he comes home from the hospital after suffering a sudden heart attack, his three adult children try to convince him to sell the isolated mountain cabin where he’s lived all their lives. Their frustrations at Roger’s refusal to take his failing health seriously cause escalating arguments which bring out an accusation by the eldest son that he does not believe Roger is the true author of his famous novel.
