It doesn’t start until October 25 so what do you want from people who couldn’t have ever seen it?

The casting call has a bit more information. It seems to be 2 shows lumped together. The first part being "Just One Q", which premiered in New York a few years back, and there's a cast recording of it. The second part is called Ruby. Both stories happened in Broadbend, Arkansas. I'm seeing it in the Halloween weekend, since I liked some of Ted Shen's music in A Second Chance.

Looks interesting. I’m excited to see it.
I’m not familiar with the theater. Do they usually do good productions?

I saw Renascence last year. I would say I admired it more than enjoyed it. It was a story about the poet Edna St. Vincent Millay, with all the songs being her poems set to music. The last song was 20 minutes long, literally, because it is a long poem. It kept me engaged, I wasn't bored. As a matter of fact, I was quite impressed how Carmel Dean managed to write beautiful melodic songs out of poems without altering the text. Just checked Transport Group's archive page, they did quite some works from Michael John LaChiusa. So, I can't say if they usually do good productions or not, but they tend to do artistically challenging works.

I've heard it said Transport Group is a theater company that's definitely on the move.
