Finn The Fearless
music & lyrics by Andrew R. Butler, book by Andrew Farmer
Shepard and Shepard’s Gator Show and Legitimate Dinner Theatre performs a swampgrass musical about the very last hero alive, a weird little fella named Finn, who embarks on a quest to Central Florida to wake up his sleeping heart by winning a bet against the Devil himself. With the help of an ambitious young woman named Amelia, Finn takes on the Devil’s gamble and discovers that the things that make us different can be the very things that make us matter.
Finn The Fearless is a two-act musical intended for 7 actors (2 men, 2 women, 3 any gender) and a small band. The show is seeking developmental or premiere production. Materials available upon request. Email: andrewradfordbutler (at) gmail (dot) com
