HOT DAMN! IT’S THE LOVELAND FROG!
A Bluegrass Musical
Directed by Kevin Crowley
Musical Direction by Steve Goers
Book, Music & Lyrics by Mike Hall & Joshua Steele
Something is lurking in Loveland, the Sweetheart of Ohio, where the disappearance of a community outcast has rekindled the hysteria surrounding America’s most alluring cryptozoological phenomenon: The Loveland Frog. Join Luke Honeywell and a smokin’ bluegrass band on a wild river adventure with maniacal moonshiners, a peculiar professor and crooked cops as they rescue Peepaw from the wondrous and elusive Loveland Frog. Based on real accounts, and featuring an all-star local cast.
