Letters are flying, and this cast sure has a way with words! TUTS Underground, in association with Third Coast Creative, presents LMNOP - A New Muzical, through April 19 in Zilkha Hall at The Hobby Center. Chaos arises when letters begin to fall from a town monument and government officials ban them one by one. The community depends on the strength of a determined teenage girl to fight for their freedom of speech. This unique musical is part romance, part clever word game and part adult fable that reminds us of how precious our liberties are and how important it is to have the courage to stand up for what we believe. Tyce Green and Holland Vavra are town for the show and their ADHD gets the best of them backstage. Catch them running around, messing with props, and interviewing castmates in an effort to understand the plot of LMNOP... because neither of them learned their lines. Click below for Episode Five!
