The local and regional shows staged throughout America use musical
theater's inherent power of deception to cultivate worldviews
opposed to mainstream ideas. Jake Johnson reveals how musical
theater between the coasts inhabits the middle spaces between
professional and amateur, urban and rural, fact and fiction,
fantasy and reality, and truth and falsehood. The homegrown musical
provides a space to engage belief and religion-imagining a better
world while creating opportunities to expand what is possible in
the current one. Whether it is the Oklahoma Senior Follies or a
Mormon splinter group's production of The Sound of Music, such
productions give people a chance to jolt themselves out of today's
post-truth malaise and move toward a world more in line with their
desires for justice, reconciliation, and community. Vibrant and
strikingly original, Lying in the Middle discovers some of the most
potent musical theater taking place in the hoping, beating hearts
of Americans.
