The cast, in addition to Golden, Friedman and Cahoon, features Steve Routman, Emily Walton, Jamey Hood, Cory Michael Smith and Sarah Sokolovic.
The Shaggs — with book by Joy Gregory; music by Gunnar Madsen; lyrics by Gregory and Madsen; and story by Gregory, Madsen and John Langs — is a fact-inspired story set in New Hampshire in the early '70s, when a working class dad (Friedman) has a vision of rock 'n' roll destiny for his three talentless daughters (Hood, Sokolovic and Walton). According to PH notes, "[He's] convinced they're his family's one-way ticket out of hardship and obscurity. But the girls have ideas of their own — and as their father's ambition turns to obsession, the price of familial obligation becomes all too clear."
