The off-Broadway production of Southern Comfort has moved its official opening night due to an actor illness. The new musical will now open on March 13 instead of the previously announced March 8. It is still scheduled to run through March 27 at the Public Theater.
Southern Comfort tells the true story of a group of transgender friends living life on their own terms in the back hills of rural Georgia. Winner of the Jonathan Larson Award, the folk and bluegrass-inspired musical is a celebration of redefining family and choosing love over every obstacle.
The cast features Annette O’Toole, Jeff McCarthy, Lizzie Hagstedt, Jeffrey Kuhn, Elizabeth Ward Land, David M. Lutken, Morgan Morse, Robin Skye, Joel Waggoner, Donnie Cianciotto and Aneesh Sheth.
