THEATER Shaggs Musical in Catskill

In 1969, the Shaggs, a band made up of three musically challenged sisters from rural New Hampshire, recorded an album that would go on to become one of the biggest cult “outsider” records of all time. “The Shaggs: Philosophy of the World,” a new musical about the group written by Joy Gregory and Gunnar Madsen, will run for eight performances from July 11-21 at the Bridge Street Theater in Catskill. https://bridgest.org/
