Southern Comfort

A musical written by Dan Collins, with music by Julianne Wick Davis.

Robert Eads is a transgender man living in rural Georgia, alongside his group of transgender friends, or more affectionately his "chosen family." All of whom struggle to define themselves in a repressive culture. Eads has been diagnosed with cancer, and his chosen family helps him navigate the diagnoses, all while helping each other navigate the very real struggles of daily life. Through love, loss, perseverance of spirit, together they discover a new meaning to the American family dynamic. Defining "chosen family" as commitment not by blood, but by those who love unconditionally.
