“The folk-tinged musical … is being mounted on a tiny stage in the middle of the woods by a company that has never done a musical before and they are succeeding admirably.”

Saturday, April 22nd at 9 am and Monday, April 24th at 7 pm at the education building on the National Colonial Farm located at 3400 Bryan Point Rd., Accokeek, MD 20607 (just 1.34 miles past the turn for the amphitheatre)

In 1925, while chasing a dream of fame and fortune by turning a Kentucky cave into a tourist attraction, Floyd Collins himself became the attraction when he got trapped 200 feet underground. Alone but for sporadic contact with the outside world, Floyd fought for his sanity and ultimately his life as the rescue effort above exploded into the first genuine media circus. Reporters and gawkers from across the country descended on the property, fueling the hysteria and manipulating the nation into holding its collective breath. This haunting musical — one of the most acclaimed in recent years — tells the transcendent tale of a true American dreamer.
