What's Shucked Like?
A hilarious and audacious farm-to-fable musical about the one thing Americans everywhere can’t get enough of: corn. A plucky small-town woman leaves home in search of someone who can figure out why all the corn in the county keeps dying. She meets a big-city con man and heconcocts a plan to swindle the desperate farmers.
Shucked is the new musical comedy that proves sometimes tearing down a few walls, rather than growing them, is the only way to preserve our way of life.”
Is Shucked Good for Kids?
The show is light and bright, but isn't made for kids as there is mild cursing and some sexual innuendo, but most of it would go over their heads anyway.
