"Hands on a Hardbody"

Based on the book by Doug Wright with lyrics by Amanda Green and music by Trey Anastasio and Amanda Green, "Hands on a Hardbody" will be presented by the ECU/Loessin Playhouse Feb. 15-20.

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 truck in order to win it. In the hilarious, hard-fought contest that is Hands on a Hardbody, only one winner can drive away with the American Dream. Note: This production should be considered PG-13.

Performances are Thursday-Saturday, Feb. 15-17, and Monday-Tuesday, Feb. 19-20, at 8pm; Sunday, Feb. 18, at 2pm.
