SINGING
AT THE EDGE OF THE WORLD
What
do you do when a wall of silence comes between you and your dreams? As
a popular folk singer in 1970's Anchorage, Alaska, Randy Rutherford was
living his dream; then congenital hearing loss sucked the sound from
his world forever…
"Powerfully
eloquent ... hilarious ... spellbinding" - Patrick Langston, Ottawa Citizen
"Intimate
and moving, this show is a powerhouse, a triumph of
confessional storytelling… a strong voice, a gifted player and, most of
all delightful company for 75 minutes that fly by."
 --
Richard Helm, Edmonton
Journal
"What this fringe veteran, troubadour and master storyteller gives his
audience in this gorgeous mosaic of memoir, music, and homespun humor
goes well beyond entertainment."  -- Carolin
Vesely,
Winnipeg Free
Press
Filled with
laughter, radiant imagery and unforgettable characters, Singing at
the Edge of the World is an inspiring tale of one man's
ability to overcome adversity.

Background:
After giving up music and performing because of his progressive hearing
loss, Rutherford became a water colorist earning an MFA in art.
Restless to perform again, he returned to the stage in the early 90's
and created a string of critically acclaimed hits (My Brother
Sang Like Roy Orbison, Weaverville Waltz, One Frigid Shiny Knight,
and This May Feel a Little Funny).
