The Southeastern Summer Theatre Institute wants to transport audiences back in time with another artist who defined a generation: John Denver. “Almost Heaven: John Denver’s America” opens July 20 and runs through Aug. 7 at 3000 Main Street on Hilton Head Island.

The musical is made up of a cast of five New York-based professional actors, singers and musicians singing and playing 29 John Denver songs on stage at the Main Street Theatre. Along with the musical storytelling, the actors will also relay some poignant moments of his life story.

Thomas Conroy is the director and recently completed a four-month tour of “In the Mood” and a musical directing position at the Arts Center of Coastal Carolina last summer.
