Eastenders Repertory Company presents the world premiere of June Bug Music.
Set against a metaphor of the ceaseless incursion of the coal-mining industry into the hills of southeastern Kentucky, the action of JUNE BUG MUSIC is anchored by the confrontations of the family matriarch and her returning youngest son, with one another, ancestral ghosts and mortality.

What the Critics Said:
"... Polly is addressing a number of important contemporary issues ..." "Rich thematic content and aura of truthfulness ..." "Suzan Kendall ... evokes an intense pathos as she struggles to reconcile herself with the gay son she doesn’t understand, as well as with her dead mother ..."
Charles Brousse, Marin Independent Journal
