Dreams, ambition, love, and heartbreak. Songbird, a Tennessee fiction by Michael Kimmel (The Last Goodbye) with music and lyrics by Lauren Pritchard (Spring Awakening) and based on Anton Chekov's The Seagull, is a striking new show about a fading country star returning home to Nashville

After many years away, Tammy returns to the Honky Tonk that launched her music career to help the son she abandoned launch his own. But with jealousy and self destruction (along with copious amounts of whiskey) fueling this homecoming, will Tammy's arrival do more harm than good?

Songbird features a sultry soundtrack that pays homage to music and lyricist Lauren Pritchard's Nashville roots, with heartbreaking ballads and soaring anthems.

Written by MICHAEL KIMMEL 
Music & lyrics by LAUREN PRITCHARD
Directed by JV MERCANTI
