Amy Surratt’s First and Last (Show)

Amy Surratt’s First and Last (Show) celebrates the struggle to come back to something you never really had. This first and final bio-mythography is told by the fictionally famous “Amy Surratt,” a former reality TV child star, as she gives her debut theatrical swan song. Surratt’s own genuine Appalachian roots emerge through the joining of poetic narrative, cultural pageantry, true stories, and good ol’ down-home lying. Beauty pageants, burnouts, and unfinished business combine in this tragicomic exploration of fractured identities and origins. Don’t worry, though — there are enough mason jars, bluegrass jams, rusted cars, and Southern-fried metatheatrics for everyone.
