FILM SYNOPSIS
Imagine a youth pastor (aka Cleo) whose love for a teenage girl puts his job at the church in jeopardy. No – not an under-age, pervy sorta love. We’re talking about a level of care and acceptance that most churches aren’t too fond of. (Now you’re wondering what her deal is, aren’t you?) The Elder Board puts Cleo in a two-week Jesus timeout, so he packs a bag, hits the road on his bike, and runs into a hairy guy named Larry traveling with his dead Dad. (Actually, Larry runs into Cleo, but we’ll leave that for the film.) All kinds of craziness ensues causing Cleo to question faith, sexuality, and Jesus…including how far is too far. It’s weird, and you’ll love it…we promise.

FILM NOT YET RATED: Profuse upper-body male nudity as well as a bit of cursing, alcohol, and drug usage.

WHY WE MADE THIS FILM
Have you ever imagined life as an adventurous road trip with bumps and twists and turns that take us to places we didn’t even know existed? We get to eat a lot of snacks and sing epic songs and ask each other crazy questions. Can you imagine if no question was off-limits or too far out there? What if we could talk about things like faith, sexuality, and Jesus without worrying about the church lady giving us a lemon-faced look of disapproval?

That’s what The Road to Edmond is all about – an indie film that’ll make you laugh out loud AND think deeply about your faith (even if you think you don’t have one). We’re not talking about a big-budget flick controlled by the Hollywood elite. We’re just a group of filmmakers and friends who care deeply about the big questions of life, and we want to have honest conversations about them. We believe this movie has the potential to create space for millions of people to ask meaningful questions that many of us have been too scared to ask.

Derek McCoy has been playing guitar for over 28 years after falling in love with the instrument at age 11. After years of playing in bands in North Carolina he moved to Atlanta Georgia to attend the Atlanta Institute of Music where he developed a deep love of jazz and improvisational music. He spent 15 years in Georgia playing with a wide variety of groups including a 12-piece funk band, countless jazz combos, R&B, Rock Cover bands and many more.

Now back in North Carolina, Derek has developed a reputation as one of Western North Carolina’s best guitar players. He spent quite a lot of time performing with a Traditional Country Music project, in which he developed a great appreciation for the guitar masters in that genre and has assimilated those new influences into his style. Now he is concentrating on his own Trio project which brings together all of his eclectic tastes into one interesting new breed of instrumental music.

Menopause The Musical® is a groundbreaking celebration of women who are on the brink of, in the middle of, or have survived “The Change.” Now celebrating 17 years of female empowerment through hilarious musical comedy, Menopause The Musical® has evolved as a “grassroots” movement of women who deal with life adjustments after 40 by embracing each other and the road ahead.

Set in a department store, four women meet while shopping for a black lace bra at a lingerie sale. After noticing unmistakable similarities among one another, the cast jokes about their woeful hot flashes, mood swings, wrinkles, weight gain and much more. These women form a sisterhood and unique bond with the entire audience as they rejoice in celebrating that menopause is no longer “The Silent Passage.”

Performance schedule:

Tuesday, August 14 at 8 p.m.
Wednesday, August 15 at 8 p.m.
Thursday, August 16 at 8 p.m.
Friday, August 17 at 8 p.m.
Saturday, August 18 at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m.
Sunday, August 19 at 2 p.m.

Inspired by a hot flash and a bottle of wine, Menopause The Musical® is a celebration of women who find themselves at any stage of “The Change.” The laughter-filled 90-minute production gets audience members out of their seats and singing along to parodies from classic pop songs of the ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s.
