Stagger Lee, which features a 21-person cast, spans the 20th century, tracing mythical characters in their quest to achieve the American Dream.  Billy is a dreamer and an optimist.  He moves North with his wife Delilah in search of a better home to raise their young family.  Johnny, Delilah’s brother, and his girl Frankie also dream of a bright future.  Stagger Lee embodies the challenges and struggles these two couples face along the way.  Told with music that spans decades and locations, Stagger Leeexplores deep-seated themes of racism and the raw power of the human spirit.
