Anytown USA, the Musical

In collaboration with Sherrye Weinstein and Ken Jason (pictured at right) Jim Perry has been working on an ambitious project, and work on realizing this lifelong dream was begun in 2005.

A full stage musical was born. Called Anytown USA, it is the story of Harry Bloom and his family, and the trials and tribulations that occur when Harry is suddenly let go from his seemingly perfect job. His boss's family, it turns out, were plotting to replace Harry with the 'black sheep' son, and as the story unfolds, a bunch of irreverent characters from their families and from the town weave their way into the plot. A series of incidents create hilarious and heartbreaking plot twists, until the surprise ending will leave you rolling in the aisles!

"Anytown USA" is destined to spread like wildfire once it is finished. Progress will surely continue in fits and starts, and hopefully, the production will soon be unleashed on the unsuspecting public!!
