Music and lyrics by Lynne Shankel, book by Crystal Skillman
The town of Westville prepares for its biggest annual event - The Settler’s Picnic. When Emma Reed, whose great-great-great grandfather was an original settler, discovers that Dylan, a newcomer, is accusing the event of exclusion, Emma defends her family while Dylan pushes for change. And a small town must choose its future.
