 | Set in Tippo, Georgia (population 8,000), The People vs. Mona is a love story, courtroom drama, musical comedy, and fate-of-a-small-town-hanging-in-the-balance all rolled into one. Mona Mae Katt, owner of the wildly popular musical hangout the Frog Pad, stands accused of killing her husband on their wedding day. If convicted, Mona will go to jail, and her beloved Frog Pad will be turned over to developers. Mona's fate (and the Frog Pad's) rests in the hands of everyman local defense attorney Jim Summerford, who has never won a case against charismatic prosecutor and majoral candidate Mavis Frye. . .who also happens to be his fiancée. As the trial unfolds amidst a rollicking Southern-roots score, the town's many secrets are revealed, and Jim and Mona recognize a budding attraction between them. - press release | |||||
