Southern Rain/The Musical
Lina Koutrakos Southern RainSouthern Rain is the story of a group of military 'brats' who after nearly 25 years apart from one another, find that the Navy base they all spent some of the most important years of their lives on, is being demolished.
The play opens with us meeting all of the characters today in their  respective lives and scattered throughout the United States. At the end of Act One, they come together for a small yet poignant reunion.
The second Act takes us back and introduces us to them as they were in high school.
The story unfolds to show us that we are who we are, we need to be reminded of that with the help of those who were with us as we grew up and that sometimes, when you need it the most and for a second or two...you can go "home" again.
This all takes place in  the lushness near Savannah Georgia and both the book and music were written by Lina Koutrakos and Dan Gross. A few songs also have Gross and/or Koutrakos partnered up with: Ted Stafford, Mark Hartman, JP Perreaux and Johnny Rodgers.
This is a pop rock musical and  it will see it's first public reading in the fall of 2008.
