The devils in the music & the blues are in his soul…____________In the heat of the Deep South, a missing guitarist reappears a blues legend, and the town’s whispered fears of a devil’s deal ignite a reckoning far more dangerous than anyone imagined.
SOUTHEAST REGIONAL PREMIERE
October 2 - 25, 2025
Director: Sharon Graci
Featuring Dexter Mitchell, Tonya Nicole, Zania Cummings, Brandi Smalls, and Trinity Griffin
Two years after his sudden disappearance, struggling guitarist Johnny “Honeycomb” James returns to his small Georgia town a blues star, sparking rumors that he may have made a deal with the devil to attain his musical genius. Before long, however, it becomes clear he's not the only one with a secret.... Inspired by the myth of Robert Johnson, this haunting, Gothic play explores the power of belief and tests the thin veil between rumor and truth.
“Auspicious... a striking new Southern Gothic work.” —The New York Times
“Undeniably spooky. Absolutely enjoyable. You'll be frightened in the best way possible.” —THEATERMANIA
