Big Britches Productions presents
String – A Musical
Music and Lyrics by Adam Gwon – Book by Sarah Hammond
Directed by Joe Garoutte – Music Directed by Dan Kenealy

Can Love bend the Rules of Fate without breaking the Universe?
High atop a mountain, three sister goddesses spin, measure, and snip the string of every human life, until Zeus banishes them to earth for a choice they refuse to undo. Three thousand years later, still stuck among mortals, the eldest sister meets a security guard on the night shift. What starts with a bit of unexpected chemistry results in a string stolen from the fabric of life itself… and could lead to the unraveling of the entire universe. Funny, heartfelt, and downright magical; this is String, the acclaimed musical by Adam Gwon and Sarah Hammond.”
Playing July 31 – August 15 at The Bingen Theater
210 Oak St Bingen, WA 98605

MATT MITCHELL MUSIC CO.
Centered around the old-soul, observational storytelling of Matt Mitchell, who lives full time out of an imported Japanese bus, MMMC brings Mitchell’s tunes to life in solo, acoustic duo/trio and full on, electrified band configurations. Mitchell’s songs are equal parts clever, quick-witted and heartbreakingly confessional, (oftentimes all at once) translating well both in attentive listening rooms and rowdy rock halls. If ‘The Band’ took a road trip to Laurel Canyon and pulled their tour bus over to pick up John Prine hitching his way down the pacific coastline, their rolling jam sessions might sound a little like Matt Mitchell Music Co.
