Day drinking strangers in a Tennessee honky-tonk discover that they have a lot more in common then they could have imagined. This World Premiere musical is a comic exploration of love and/or marriage built around twenty-two of Paul Overstreet's greatest songs. "Forever and Ever, Amen," along with "When You Say Nothing at All," are just a few of the hits covered by popular vocalists such as Alison Krauss, Randy Travis, The Judds, and Kenny Chesney.

"...However, if the story occasionally stumbles, the game performers gradually win us over, scene by scene and song by song. A delightfully off-base "Twilight Zone"� segue, coupled with a slamming live band, contributes to the considerable fun, while Florek's moving rendition of "Sneaky Ole Time" sneaks right into our hearts -- the place where all good country music goes to dwell."

"...Ruskin Group Theatre's world premiere of Sneaky Ole Time makes for a delightful, easy-breezy, light-hearted two hours filled with clever songs by Grammy-winning writer Paul Overstreet and solid performances by its cast of nine triple-threats."

"...this stellar ensemble delivers the goods. Sometimes, with exuberance and sometimes with longing " and sometimes just for pure fun. They bring the lyrics alive with their lush voices and dancing feet."

"...Using 22 songs from Overstreet's catalog as its dramatic through line, Sneaky Ole Time is a diverting if occasionally dopey new musical produced by the Ruskin Group Theatre Co. The Halfway Home bar may not be any man's idea of paradise, but with Overstreet's winning tunes sung by creator/director Michael Myers' cast, it's a fine place to pull up a stool for a couple of hours."

"...Everyone involved in this production-including the cast, the director, choreographer, and of course the house band-work together to deliver the perfect date night (or afternoon). Each and every member of the cast shows a wonderful amount of talent."

"...The good news is that if you're a fan of country music, chances are good you'll love Sneaky Ole Time. The better news is that even if you're not a fan "� even if you can't stand it "� there's enough in Sneaky Ole Time to keep you charmed, entertained, and perhaps even a bit perplexed (in a good way)."

"...I recommend this play. It's light, the music's fun, it's a perfect little summer entertainment, and in case you think it's a corny premise, so what? The performers do a terrific job making it feel fresh and bright. It's already garnered interest from a few theatre houses across the South."
