Knoxville APRIL 3-25 | ASOLO REPERTORY THEATRE Frank Galati eloquently

described Knoxville as “a love story, inspired by James Agee’s perfectly crafted prose, animated by Lynn Ahrens’ vivid poetry and borne aloft by Stephen Flaherty’s gorgeous new music.”

Agee’s autobiographical story begins on a quiet night in the foothills of Tennessee’s Great Smokies, where Jay Follett stands with his son Rufus, watching the trains and talking about life. Later, an unexpected turn of events leaves Rufus’ family spinning. A powerful illumination of the forces that

F-LOVELOCAL20_2-Arts and Culture.indd 29

shape who we are, Knoxville is a universal coming-of-age story about family, faith and love – and about the boy who will grow up to write it. With a sweeping musical score blending folk, bluegrass and ballads, this world premiere is a must-see event. Contains mature themes.
