The showʼs book and lyrics are by Mark Garcia, and David Rigano will provide the score. The reading will be directed by Andrew Hobgood (NY Fringeʼs award winning Love is Dead), who will also direct the showʼs world premier next year.

A graduate of the College of Charleston and a member and officer of a southern fraternity, Linder's play is set to surprise audiences this spring with its blunt honesty about the southern fraternity experience.
