From the unruly mind of Mark Roberts, creator of Mike & Molly, Executive Producer of Two and a Half Men, comes NEW COUNTRY, an uncensored Off-Broadway comedy. The show will run February 2nd - 12th, 2017, directed by Daniel Eilola at Lake Worth Playhouse.

Handsome, charismatic, Country music star Justin Spears is rich, famous, cavalier, with an ego at the top of the charts.

It's Justin's bachelor party on the eve of his wedding day, and his managers, Paul and Chuck, try in vain to keep an unruly entourage under control. Enter Ollie, the star-struck hotel bellboy with a cock-eyed view of fame, Sharon, Justin's vigilante, scorned ex-girlfriend, and dirty old pig farming Uncle Jim who arrives with inflatable lady, Wanda June Whitmore.

So how does this raucous, rodeo go so wrong...so fast? Welcome to the NEW COUNTRY, where the hits just keep on comin'.
