Burnt out, living out of his Studebaker, former country-western star Floyd Duffner’s best days seem to be behind him. But when a 20 year-old feral beauty with an electrifying voice enters the picture, an unlikely friendship and musical partnership begins to blossom. A freewheeling musical journey from Montana to Austin (with a side trip to Hollywood), Floyd and Clea is a tale of sweet heartbreak, a parable about finding the strength, against all odds, to keep on keepin’ on.

“A FEEL-GOOD STORY! A sweet, heart-warming, TOE-TAPPING EVENING.”
— Zachary Pincus-Roth, Newsday“MARY FABER’S VOICE COULD WARM UP WINTER. DAVID CALE’s performance lingers in the mind and has an unassuming presence that bursts with beauty all the same.”

“JOE CALARCO’s production is a testament to the powers of old-fashioned stage presence. ITS SONGS ARE ITS GLORY.”
