Corn! The Musical
July 7-8, 2023
Friday and Saturday at 7:30PM
About the Show:
Honoring the legacy of writer Al Budde, this benefit concert performance brings together Jay Kerr (Corn's songwriter and former Fort Salem Theater owner) and Kyle West (Fort Salem Theater's newest owner) along with members of the original FST Corn! The Musical cast for this one-weekend special event.
Corn! The Musical tells the story of the modern family farm, and the struggles of when a patriarch dies and the new generation has set its sights on living life far from the land. Written by two Salem transplants as a tribute to the Washington (NY) County farmers, this show is a “call-to-farms” for all of America.
