7:00pm
In the spirit of liberation and celebration, what’s a time when you were on top? Prepare a story about your craziest party, a victory you didn’t see coming, or that mountain you finally climbed after 5 years of planning. Think back to that bottle of tequila or a sunny day after a storm. Whether it was a win for the soul or fireworks literally lit up the sky, sometimes we need a reminder to celebrate the big and the small. In case you need anymore inspiration I invite you to think back to those milestones: prom, 21st birthday, that wedding your cousin had in the woods, or the 30th birthday party that was more of a rave. Bring a story, a friend, or simply yourselves.

An original musical by Maria DiFabbio. A songwriter takes a solo road trip through the Blue Ridge Mountains, hoping a change of scenery – and a lot of bluegrass – will bring her closer to the life she wants. But what begins as a flight of fancy becomes something deeper, as love and music intertwine through charged memories, imagined futures and conversations with her musician father. Along the way, women travellers who came before her appear, echoing her longing for both freedom and connection. Trunk Songs is a summer awakening exploring the art of skipping town, and making music of your heart’s desires.
