Tanner Maverick is a teenage outcast struggling to find his place in the world. Because of his speaking disability, his only true way to communicate is through the music that he writes. Years after Tanner’s death, his younger brother Jason, finds his book of songs and strives to piece together who Tanner was, and what exactly he had hoped to convey in his songs.
Jason’s coming-of-age journey takes him through broken friendships and overnight success, as he bears the burden of carrying on his brother’s hidden legacy while battling his own demons.
We find throughout the musical that every character in someway, relates to the songs in the book… songs written by a dying boy.
Whether you feel like you are on top of the world or simply a misunderstood kid, Tanner Maverick’s Book of Sound reminds us that we can understand and have compassion for one another, if we only try.
