Larry Gatlin - January 27 & 28

Larry Gatlin, a renowned country star and songwriter, was born in 1948 in Seminole, Texas. He began performing with his brothers Steve and Rudy at a young age and later attended the University of Houston on a football scholarship, where he developed a passion for the English language that would serve him well in his songwriting career. Gatlin's talent for songwriting established him in the Nashville music industry, leading to a successful touring career with his brothers from 1976 to 1992 during which they amassed numerous hits and awards. He has written songs recorded by legendary artists including Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, and Barbra Streisand. After the Gatlin Brothers' farewell tour in 1992, Larry pursued a career in musical theater, starring in the Tony Award-winning "The Will Rogers Follies." He has since written an autobiography, recorded solo albums, and reunited with his brothers for select performances and new music releases. In 2019, Gatlin was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, capping off a prolific career spanning over six decades.

The play sheds light on Albert Einstein's early struggles and triumphs, offering insight into his personal and professional challenges during a tumultuous period in 1914 Berlin. Despite facing skepticism, isolation, health issues, and personal turmoil, Einstein develops groundbreaking theories that will change the world.
