>>> Bruce is writing the book for a new musical called Prodigals featuring bluegrass and folk songs written by The Lubben Brothers. Watch this space for info on further developments!
In the summer of 1950, shared tragedy reunites an estranged West Virginia family against their will. As their secrets, lies, loves, and resentments are revealed, will the choices they make bring them closer together or tear them apart forever? Loosely inspired by the story of the prodigal son, PRODIGALS explores the humanity behind our collective need for connection, forgiveness, belonging, and a place to call home.
