their luck Texans who enter a contest to see who can keep their hands on a Nissan truck “hardbody” the longest. The last man or woman standing while touching the truck gets to keep it. From Jesus-loving Norma, injured and out-of-work J.D., to boastful former
winner Benny and hopeful dreamer Kelli, each character has their own musical story to tell. Hilarious at times, yet poignant and hopeful,
<i>Hands on a Hardbody</i> takes audiences for an amazing musical ride, with only one winner driving away with the American dream!</span></span><span class="A1"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;font-weight:normal"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
