The Alliance Theatre Presents: "I Just Stopped by to see the Man"
Deep in the heart of the Mississippi Delta, a man at the crossroads has put down his guitar and forsaken the blues. Rumors of his death only heighten his legend – for everyone except his adult daughter, who has some secrets of her own. But when the temptation of fame in the form of a young musician strides in from the night, everyone’s secrets are on the table. These three lost souls collide with a musical landscape choked with the loss and beauty of the Delta Blues – wrestling with the tension between where you come from and where you want to go.
Written by Stephen Jeffreys. Directed by Ron OJ Parson.
Recommended for 7th grade and up; adult language and thematic elements.
