Hold On to Me Darling SYNOPSIS
Hold On to Me Darling follows Clarence "Strings" McCrane, a famous country music star, who returns to his hometown of Beaumont, Tennessee, after his mother's death. Wracked with grief and an existential crisis, Strings decides to abandon his stardom to live a simple, working-class life. However, he quickly discovers that the consequences of his fame and the realities of his past are impossible to escape, leading to a tragicomedy exploring themes of fame, grief, identity, and the complexities of homecoming.

The Center is an inclusive multi-generational community arts center committed to community, collaboration, diversity, affordability, and accessibility. CWP is dedicated to saving the landmark historic home where it was founded--the West Park Presbyterian Church-- preventing its demolition, and to growing CWP programs to serve Upper Manhattan and the five boroughs as a hub for community, arts & culture, social responsibility, sacred space, community workshops, and accessible rentals for the community and artists of all ages and experience levels. This Landmark Building has seven performing arts and community spaces under one roof. This singular multi-purpose space enables programming that advances artists at all career stages, while ensuring that audiences and aspiring creators interact with renowned artists, community leaders and programs which are committed to growing community and ensuring the heart and soul of NYC.
