A family reunion in the bar gone horribly wrong. Secrets, ghosts, songs, whiskey, legends, liars, lookers, politics and the past creates an elixir found only at the Logger. A small town comes face to face with itself through one of its legendary founding families, the MacTwat clan, meeting themselves again after years apart.
Says Fields “One of my main inspirations for the “Bar Plays” now a trilogy, is the late Irish playwright, JB Keane. He owned a pub in Cork, Ireland. He would listen to what happened and what was said in his bar and then weave them into plays. One of his patrons said that he had “the best job ever. You write down what we say and then charge us to hear it”. Initially, Dublin critics said his work was “too provincial” until it became hugely popular. I believe that the local, well told, is universal in its human story. That is what we aspire to in this work”.
We promise you a rocking good time that will be full of "feels," laughs and live music. It is staged so everyone is up close in the Logger Bar, where the beer is colder than your ex's heart.

LONGSHADR is a production company started by Michael Fields in 2020 when he retired from Dell’Arte. The name references the long shadows that are cast in the winter when the sun dips to the horizon behind the hill and the dark of the days become longer until the light of late spring. It is about the hope, effort, and joy of moving out of the shadows and into the light. It is about collaborations that promote the health and creative community spirit of this place. It is about preparing and creating popular (“of the people”), place-inspired theatre for a new era. In 2021, Longshadr produced MADSUMMER. In 2022 Longshadr produced THE LOGGER LEAR and in 2023/24 LOGGER LOVE STORIES. The fiscal sponsor for LOGGER LEGENDS is Blue Ox Village and Millworks. And partial support for this production also comes from the California Arts Council.
