Far be it from us to allow the off stage talent to be the unsong heros. The crew, in 24/7, makes the performances apprear magic — how did they do all that in one day. How? Even I don’t know all the secrets…. But here are the magicians for 24/7 2013:

If you’ve seen the show you know it is an award winning show. But even after a great run at the Captial Firnge, a fantasitic (and 5-star reviewed) run at the 2011 Edinburgh Fringe and all the shows in Virginia, well, it’s nice to win a freakin award at such a big festival.
Well deserved and well earned — Addie has put years of work into this show – and others have contributed generously. Thanks to Max Werham who played the banjo for the show at United Solo and the Ed Fest and many others, to Bud Branch who was banjo man in Virginia, Maryland and DC including the Cap Fringe Run, to the Hamner Theatre, Live Arts, Play On and Four County Players who help nuture the show, and of course the original Hampsire band and crew for helping Addie launch the production.
Also, we have had the support of Appalachian Voices, Heartwood, and many other lovely people from many other gourps united in the goal to Stop Mountaintop Removal!
