STAND

The compelling true story of Johnny Ellis, his three drug-addicted decades on the streets, and the Good Samaritan who helped him.

Named best new play by the Nashville Scene.

“Jim Reyland’s Stand offers an eloquent portrait of human life at its most unsettling, uncomfortable and unrelenting…and most forgiving, loving and extraordinary.”- Evans Donnell: Arts Nash Review

“Some plays were written simply to entertain. Others were designed to inform or educate… Jim Reyland's remarkable new play, Stand manages to do both on a level that is rarely seen.” - Amy Stumpfl: The Tennessean

“Reyland gives us flesh-and-blood characters. We want to like them and to root for them.”- Martin Brady: Nashville Arts Magazine
