Singer-songwriter Benjamin Scheuer is known for his stunning lyrics, which have won him such recognition as the 2013 ASCAP Foundation Cole Porter Award for songwriting. His newest show, The Lion, earned Scheuer the 2015 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Solo Performance. Here, Scheuer uses his guitar -- actually, six guitars -- to tell his own gripping coming-of-age story. It's a journey from boyhood to manhood, through good times and bad, showing the incredible healing power of music. Don't miss Scheuer's much-lauded off-Broadway hit, called "an irresistible winner" and "deeply moving" by New York Daily News, at the Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles.
