WKU's Department of Theatre & Dance will present a staged reading of The Liars' Bench is a new musical that highlights small town life in the early twentieth century through the eyes of the residents of Nashville, Indiana. The musical offers a look into the town’s history, through the eyes of those who inhabited this “town that time forgot” in the 1920s. With the advent of automobiles, artists found this quaint Brown County landscape, and flocked there, followed by tourists, offering both excitement and frustrations for local residents. The characters are based on real people, some of whose relatives still live in Brown County. This musical is scheduled to have its premiere in the summer of 2020 at the Brown County Playhouse in Nashville, IN.
