Local playwright, poet, and performer John Crutchfield brings a new one-man version of his popular verse play to NCStage for its Asheville premier. The Songs of Robert combines original poetry, choreography, live music, and a menagerie of unforgettable characters, to tell the story of “Robert,” a high school boy growing up in a small Southern Appalachian town. In addition to the usual perils of high school – insane Guidance Counselors, sadistic Assistant Principals, and megalomaniacal Class Poets – Robert is also caught up in the surreal world of being in love for the first time.

All told, Crutchfield plays a dozen different characters, and performs songs ranging from Old Time traditionals to delta blues – all of it with a mischievous vaudeville twist.
