It was a pleasure to have actor Tim Behrens and composer, arranger and musician Olivia Brownlee in to talk with us today about “My Favorite Toy Was Dirt: An American Story in Concert.” Penned by the late, great humor writer Patrick F. McManus, the production features Tim vs. seven musicians who interrupt, interject, and interfere with the proceedings as they play Olivia’s original score.

The two Spokane performances will be at 7:30 PM—one on February 15 in the SCC Lair Auditorium, and the other on March 1 in the Opportunity Presbyterian Church—with two more shows at 7:30 PM on February 22 and 3 PM on February 24 in Sandpoint’s Panida Theater.

Suitable for all audiences.
