The Holy Cows of Credence, South Dakota
Book by Mark-Eugene Garcia
Music and Lyrics by David and Paul Rigano
Based on the Play "Holy Cows" by Carolyn Lardinois English and Royal Crane
Winner of Three Planet Connections Festivity Awards
In Credence, South Dakota, Marlys Brooks cheers on the church’s ever-losing baseball team, “The Holy Cows.” Being the minister’s wife, she uses these gatherings to give out advice and support. But this Sunday, Marlys is suffering a lapse of faith. Hiding this, she places her hope in an unlikely source…
"A compelling story of baseball and faith. The game provides a world of meaning in community and being stronger together. When a woman is down for the count, she finds the hope to keep going and restore. It ain't over till it's over! Beautiful!"- Cheryl Bear, New Play Exchange
"This new musical has heart!"
