Village Theatre's commitment to nurturing new musicals continues with the world premiere of TRAILS. This musical expedition first appeared at the Los Angeles Theatre of New Musicals and was an award-winning selection of the 2010 New York Musical Theatre Festival. TRAILS had its first reading with the Village in 2011 as part of Village Theatre's Festival of New Musicals.

A traditional book musical in a non-traditional outdoor setting along the Appalachian Trail, TRAILS is the story of two friends, who drop everything to fulfill a childhood promise and embark upon the journey of a lifetime: a 2,175-mile trek from Georgia to Maine along the Appalachian Trail. This particular path is going to test more than just their stamina. As the challenges of the trail become increasingly difficult, ghosts from the past haunt their steps, and the woman they both cherish brings back long-kept secrets.

TRAILS is written by Christy Hall (book) (Home: The Musical), and Jonathan Larson Award Winners Jeff Thomson (music) and Jordan Mann (lyrics). The Village Production is directed by Eric Ankrim (First Date, Elf).

The TRAILS cast members include: Dane Stokinger (Mike), Joshua Carter (Seth), Kirsten Delohr Helland (Amy), John Patrick Lowrie, Bobbi Kotula and Sarah Rose Davis. It is directed by Eric Ankrim and R.J. Tancioco is the music director. Jen Zeyl, Robert Aguilar, Chelsea Blum and Brent Warwick are the set, lighting, costume and sound designers (respectively).
