Honky tonk Angels

AUGUST 22 - OCTOBER 3, 2025 IN ALTERNATING REP

Featuring your favorite CLASSIC country hits!

When three gutsy gals from different backgrounds take charge of their lives, they decide to follow their honky tonk dreams all the way to the city of Nashville. Combining 30 classic country tunes (including “Stand By Your Man,” “9 to 5,” “Harper Valley PTA,” and more!) Honky Tonk Angels is a hilarious, foot-stomping good time from the creator of Always…Patsy Cline.

"A raucous and enjoyable evening of entertainment."

—North Bay Stage and Screen

"A down-home treat for country music fans!"

—Orlando Sentinel
