“Now and Then a Hero”, a new musical with music by Jake Anthony and book/lyrics by Larry Todd Johnson, will appear in a developmental reading at the Secret Rose Theatre in North Hollywood on February 10, 2010, at 8:30pm. 

“Now and Then a Hero” is a powerful and uplifting series of musical playlets which explore a cross-section of real-life Americans from the 20th century, contrasting them with a cross-section of modern Americans.  It shines a light on everyday, un-sung heroes; aware that stories of simple heroism must continue to live on as an example for our children and their children.
