By David Kisor

Cast: Keaton Eckhoff, David Kisor, Jennie Malone & Linsey Rogers
Cars, Dogs, Money, and the Moon is an evening of songs and storytelling set in Huntington, West Virginia. With the spirit of a good old-fashioned hootenanny, the original score moves from foot-stomping tunes to tender, heartfelt ballads. Blending true family history with a few well-spun tall tales, Kisor transports audiences to the mid-1900s, when life felt simpler in some ways and harder in others. Together, the songs and stories unfold like a living photo album, capturing the grit, humor, and heart of urban Appalachia.
Cars, Dogs, Money, and the Moon was first produced at Ensemble Theatre in 1996, directed by D. Lynn Meyers in her first season as Artistic Director. David Kisor recalls, “When I brought the idea to Lynn, it was just a few songs and scene sketches. She skillfully helped sew the pieces together into a patchwork quilt of a show. I was green back then, writing straight from the heart. The honesty of the storytelling produced some of my most memorable songs.”
