Lies and Legends: The Musical Stories of Harry Chapin

Lies and Legends: The Musical Stories of Harry Chapin

Conceived by Joseph Stern
Musical arrangements by Tom and Stephen Chapin

September 14 - October 14, 2007

The Circuit Playhouse, 1705 Poplar Avenue, Memphis, TN

A folk balladeer with a keenly developed social conscience, Harry Chapin’s haunting lyrics and soulful tunes celebrated the lives of a generation and ordinary working people before his untimely death in 1981. In this heartfelt tribute to both the man and the music, each successive song weaves its own unique theatrical narrative that retells the old fictions and myths that inform our lives and make us profoundly aware of our longings and diminishing dreams. Chapin’s music creates that village of desire we never really leave, that little town of yearning that we visit each time we go home.
