Book by Andrew Farmer
Music/Lyrics by Andrew R. Butler
Once there was a weird little fella from up north named Finn who wanted to feel his heart race. So he trekked on down to the most devilish, hair-raising, and humid pit known to man; a little place called...Florida. Finn The Fearless is a Floridian origin story told by a band of misfit gator show performers on a diplomatic mission to the rest of America. With a score that blends bluegrass, folk, and country music, Finn is a funny and heartfelt investigation of classic folk tale idioms and regional Americana.
Finn is an alumnus of Ars Nova's '2014/15 Uncharted music/theater writers' group. Finn has been developed in part at The Rhinebeck Writers' Retreat, the Aspen Theater Festival, The Polyphone Festival at University of the Arts in Philadelphia, and The American Music Theater Project at Northwestern.
