Documentary that spawned a musical at SVP Theater
Creative people are inspired in many different ways. In the case of Hands on a Hardbody (Stoughton Village Players’ upcoming musical), it all started with a crazy contest in Texas and the documentary that followed. 

On Friday, Feb. 13, audiences will be able to experience a showing of this film and then follow up to see the musical live a month later. It is an unusual path for a Broadway show and audiences will get a chance to see how the process happened… a rare opportunity.

It’s simple: Contestants placed their hand on a 1995 Nissan Hardbody pick-up truck and the last one with their hand on it won the vehicle. There were breaks every six hours and other rules meant to make it difficult but the movie and the musical are about these people and their personal stories. We learn about what the truck means to them, what their dreams are and how their lives might change. They are real, earnest and honest.

The musical (March 12-15 and 19-21) is based on some of the people we meet in the documentary and even uses some of their real words. Some may wonder how we can do a show that is based on a truck in the SVP theater. The answer is: Audiences will experience a never-before-seen set piece, dynamic choreography and powerful songs sung by a local cast. It will truly be a talked-about performance you don’t want to miss.

But an even cooler addition to attending the show is to see the documentary of the same name which will be shown at 7:00, Friday, Feb. 13. The showing is free (donations accepted) and no tickets are needed. Directors (Dan Prueher, Brooke Hauser) and cast members will be there as well to add their perspective in creating their characters and why they are so passionate about the show.
