Johnny & the Devil’s Box

Join us for a concert performance of the award winning new musical JOHNNY & THE DEVIL’S BOX, written by Franklin local Douglas Waterbury-Tieman. The show made its sold out world premiere run at the Cumberland County Playhouse last fall to enthusiastic audiences calling it, “A godsend, a jamboree jubilee.” (CROSSVILLE CHRONICLE).

Johnny Baker believes he is the best fiddler that’s ever lived, and he aims to prove it. But his boasting attracts the attention of another fiddler- the devil himself- who shows up with a plan for Johnny’s destruction. With fame and fortune tempting his pride at every turn, Johnny must find the strength and wisdom to win a battle of the bows without losing sight of what really matters; family, community, and even a budding romance. It’s a jubilant new musical with one foot in the Georgia mountains, one foot in the Grand Ole Opry, and music that will stir your soul.

JOHNNY & the DEVIL’S BOX is a celebration of love, life and music that the world needs right now!

Featured artists: Douglas Waterbury-Tieman and wife

Annabelle Fox with special guests to be announced soon!
