THE MERRIWETHER BIG TIME: An Original Musical
Fort Lauderdale, Florida Teen Session Two (2014)
Synopsis:
In Chicago in the early 20th century, a small group of vaudeville performers take to the 
stage each night to make the audience laugh, cry, and gasp in both shock and awe. However, with the rise of Hollywood motion pictures, audiences are suddenly thrust into a brand new world of entertainment possibilities, and nothing has been hit harder than the vaudeville circuit. Will these changing times be the end of the line for this group of performers, or will they be able to grasp the threads of the future? No matter the outcome you’re sure to get your money’s worth at The Merriwether Big Time!
