The Carter family recorded over 250 songs from 1927 to 1943 and dramatically influenced country, bluegrass, R&B, gospel and folk music.  With timeless songs such as “Will The Circle Be Unbroken” and “Are You Lonesome Tonight?,”  the life and career of one of country music’s pioneer families are brought to stage.  Spanning from 1914 when A.P. Carter first met Sara Dougherty, the musical covers the highs and lows of the family’s music and relationships from the early days when they gathered together in homes and churches to their later successes.  A.P. and Sara’s love, and the strains and stresses placed on their relationship by their success, are showcased through the musical.
