The town of Fall Springs is cash-strapped but sits directly on top of America’s largest reserve of cosmetic essential oils. It has big dreams but at what cost? With new fracking techniques being recklessly implemented, the ground beneath Fall Springs is crumbling.

The new musical, directed by Stephen Brackett, features Music and Lyrics by Niko Tsakalakos and Book and Lyrics by Peter Sinn Nachtrieb. They joined us at The Linda along with actors Felicia Finley, Ellen Harvey, Sam Heldt, Alyse Alan Louis, Matt McGrath, and Eliseo Román.

Mike Pettry, Sam Heldt, Matt McGrath, Ellen Harvey, Sarah LaDuke Alyse Alan Lois, Felicia Finley, Niko Tsakalakos, Eliseo Román, and Peter Sinn Nachtrieb.
