Grow

Book by Matt Murray
Music by Colleen Dauncey
Lyrics by Akiva Romer-Segal

A High-ly Entertaining New Musical

Before deciding if they want to commit to the Amish faith forever, twenty-year-old twins, Hannah and Ruth, leave the comfort of their community to go on their Rumspringa: a chance for Amish youth  to experience life in the modern world. After arriving in a dodgy part of Toronto, their plans quickly go up in smoke and the twins find themselves stranded. Desperate, Hannah and Ruth end up crashing with Skor, a down-on-his-luck cannabis dispensary owner on the verge of losing his business. When Ruth grows the most extraordinary strain of weed anyone has ever seen, it sets the world – and their sisterhood – on fire.
