Photo Flash: Pride Films & Plays Presents SOUTHERN COMFORT: THE MUSICAL

By:

A closer look at SOUTHERN COMFORT: THE MUSICAL, playing now through March 31.

This musical by TREVOR creators Collins and Wick Davis was inspired by afilm documentary telling the true story of several transgender friends living life on their own terms in rural Georgia. In SOUTHERN COMFORT, Robert, a transgender man living in rural Georgia among his chosen family of mostly transgender friends, has one final wish after receiving life-altering news.

He wishes to make it to the annual Southern Comfort Transgender Conference he has attended with his friends for years, so he can dance at the ball with his newly-discovered love, Lola. While Robert attempts to live his life as fully as possible surrounded by those he loves, his friends struggle to process what will inevitably come.

This heartwarming musical with a lush folk/bluegrass score is based on the award-winning 2001 Sundance Film Festival documentary of the same title.
