Sympathy Jones is a darn good secretary, but what she wants to be is…a spy! The Shenandoah Valley Governor’s School, in association with ShenanArts, is proud to present Sympathy Jones: The New Secret Agent Musical, a 1960’s-era comic adventure in the same vein as Get Smart and Austin Powers.
Sympathy is tired of seeing male agents head out on secret missions while the most dangerous thing she gets to corner is a hot pot of coffee. She dreams of adventure, so she seizes the opportunity when a top-secret file lands on her desk at the enigmatic Agency. She follows the clues to uncover a nefarious plot. When no one believes her, she strikes out on her own to save the day. Rookie agent Henry Greene confronts her for crashing his assignment, and they realize that their odds are better if they work together. But can they take down the mysterious and ruthless Secret Coalition for Revenge, Assassination, Terrorism, Counterintelligence and Heists before it’s too late? With music, lyrics, and concept by Masi Asare (Paradise Square) and book by Brooke Pierce (Beneath the Banyan Tree), Sympathy Jones features fun, jazzy musical numbers such as “Time Will Tell,” “Get Your Gun,” “Technical Disguise,” and “Super-Secret Agent.”
