Description
Every Heart Got a Song to Sing: Selected Music From and Inspired by King of the Hobos

A cabaret written, composed & performed by Jara Jones 
With direction and additional material by Abigail Taylor-Sansom
Based on Jones' one-man musical, King of the Hobos 
     
July 27th, 1930. On this night, a charismatic hobo named Gilly tricks a passel of strangers into attending an impromptu funeral for a prominent activist and real-life hobo icon, James Eads How. 
 
With this premise, actor/singer/songwriter Jara Jones explores the various hardships and signifiers of hobo culture in his one-man musical, King of the Hobos.  In this cabaret of music from and inspired by the show, Jones discusses how the musical was created, performs selected numbers, and shares some irreverent, heartbreaking, and authentic personal stories that shaped the year-and-a-half process of creation.
