Description:
Based on the Sundance Award-winning documentary, this heartwarming musical about a group of trans friends living in rural Georgia is, at its core, a love story between their patriarch, Robert Eads, and newcomer Lola Cola. Through a unique folk and bluegrass-inspired score, the musical chronicles a year in the lives of this unique American family as Robert courageously defies the odds by simply remaining on the land to which they were born, reminding us that home is where we find comfort in our skin.
