Fri 9/30 @ 8PM
Cleveland musicians Mike Shields and Terry McHale have created a work of musical theater, their second, called Always the Horizon, loosely based on Shields’ family legends. Taking place nearly two decades after the Civil War, it follows the reappearance of a man to his family after 17 years and the stories he tells to his sister about what he did during those years. In that time, his path crossed, Forrest Gump-like, with historic events and people “one Cajun mystic who reveals a remarkable and peculiar truth about the McHugh family destiny.”
The show will have its world premiere at the West Side Irish American Club ballroom in Olmsted Falls. It will feature a cast of veteran Cleveland musicians including Rick Christyson, EB Michael, Brittany Reilly, Reed Simon and Ed Wheeler. The show narrator in the role of Nathan is Brian Byers.
Tickets are $15 available at the West Side Irish American Club or at artfullivingbhoutique/store.
