Forever Plaid

Forever Plaid is an affectionate musical homage
to the close-harmony ‘guy groups’ that
reached the height of their popularity during
the 1950s. This quartet of high-school chums,
and their earnest dreams of recording an
album, ended (symbolically, and even literally) in death, when their cherry red
’54 Mercury collided with a bus filled with Catholic schoolgirls on their way to
see the Beatles’ American debut on The Ed Sullivan Show. The girls were fine.
The play begins with the wondrous and wondering Plaids returning from the
afterlife for one final chance at musical glory.
