EXPLODING WITH SONG! "It's got to be loud, Little Voice...It's got to be all singing, all dancing, all the way to the stars!"- Ray Say from Little Voice Backyard Renaissance invites audiences to a show unlike any you've seen before... THE RISE AND FALL OF LITTLE VOICE is gearing up to fill your heart with music! by Jim Cartwright directed by Anthony Methvin Jessica John, Francis Gercke, Layth Haddad, Daren Scott, Teri Brown and Megan Carmitchel as Little Voice *Olivier and Evening Standard Critics' Award Winners for Best Comedy* Once Upon a Time. In a small working-class community in Northern England, before the dawn of American Idol and The Voice, there lived a daughter and a mother, struggling to make ends meet after the untimely passing of the daughter’s father. Afraid to go outside or even to speak, the daughter, nicknamed Little Voice, finds sanctuary in her room singing along to the only thing her father left behind — old records from a bygone era. A fateful encounter with a shady promoter propels Little Voice into the white hot spotlight and the possibility of fame and fortune. This timeless tale explores the highs and the lows of small-town dreams, family rivalry, and finding your voice in a noisy world.
