THE VIOLA MOUNTAIN DOOR COMPANY

For Immediate Release:

World Premiere of The Viola Mountain Door Company @ 2013 Hollywood Fringe Festival, June 7 – 29

Summary: Who said makin’ doors was simple and the people who make ’em simple minded? Who ever said that never spent a day with the folks at the Viola Mountain Door Company. Tucked away in the hills, along a placid river, stands a common looking factory full of men and women who are decidedly uncommon.

Inspired by his Indiana roots, Greg Abbott writes from his experiences of the cities and the small towns of the Midwest. Memories of family reunions in the Appalachian Mountains serve as the basis the back drop of the fictional town Viola.
