Original songs by Janna
Slumgullion is an original musical with Music/Lyrics by Janna Graham and Book/Lyrics by Avery Rabbitt. Slumgullion is a fantasy adventure story that takes place in the 1990s Pacific Northwest, USA. In the story, a young person named Pickles contends with the teachings of her fundamentalist evangelical family and her relationships— especially with her sibling/rival, Riley. They all go for a bike ride in the forest and Pickles gets lost. She discovers that lostness is a place called Atupon. In Atupon, she meets many friends, and with their help, she goes on a quest— unsure of what she will find.
Here is a preview video, documenting the process of creating the show.
