“this scrappy, sincere new musical brings a fresh, handmade feeling to Broadway” – NY Times
Is there one action you could take that would immediately shift your life from stalling out to taking off?
How hard could it be to just stand with your hand on a truck?
For 10 hard-luck Texans, a new lease on life is so close they can touch it. Under a scorching sun for days on end, armed with nothing but hope, humor and ambition, they’ll fight to keep at least one hand on a brand new “hardbody” Nissan truck in order to win it. In the hilarious, hard-fought contest, only one winner can drive away with the American dream. Based on a true story!
With a terrific score by Amanda Green and Trey Anastasio and a book by Pultizer Prize winning playwright Doug Wright, this musical will be one you’ll cherish for a long time!

Joe Zimmerman grew up in Morgantown, West Virginia, and started his comedy career in North Carolina. While living in the South, his stand-up group the Beards of Comedy landed a record deal with Comedy Central Records. He moved to New York City in 2012, quickly appearing on The Late Late Show and John Oliver’s New York Stand-Up Show, as well as performing at Montreal’s prestigious Just for Laughs festival. His resume has since grown to include The Tonight Show, Conan, Nickelodeon, Last Comic Standing, and his own Comedy Central Half Hour. Joe’s solo album Smiling at Wolves reached number two on the iTunes comedy charts and is played regularly on SiriusXM. (His second, Innocence, is due this summer on Comedy Central Records.) He has also contributed humor pieces to The New York Times.
Joe’s new podcast, “A Great Listening Experience” details his questionable attempts to attain infinite knowledge and power. Among his many podcast & radio appearances, he has recently appeared on 2 Dope Queens, The Dork Forest, Bob & Tom, The Todd Barry Podcast, and The Artie Lange Show. Joe is frequently touring, headlining clubs around the country, and occasionally opening for super stars Brian Regan and Ricky Gervais.

In collaboration with Grail Moviehouse, Livingdog and Mike Johnson will celebrate the release of their new album “CRO$$” out this spring on Constellation Tatsu Records. They will perform selections from the album to serve as a live score for a debut experimental film made by Corey Parlamento. The film is a wandering meditation on landscape and objects. It plays much like the footage from a vast network of security cameras capturing candid moments of motion and stillness.
CRO$$ is the debut collaboration between Asheville, NC musicians Mike Johnson and Corey Parlamento (aka Livingdog). Each song was structured by using a different combination of acoustic and electronic instruments, field recordings, and household objects. They created fictional story lines based on photographs to dictate the direction each song would travel and then utilized elements of ambient and avant-garde music to create a sonic landscape for each image and story. CRO$$ is a collection of soundscapes that range from meditative and playful to chaotic and explosive. Out on June 11th via Constellation Tatsu Records.
Midnight // Saturday, June 15th // Grail Moviehouse // $8
