The story is about what happens to a family when a mysterious stranger arrives in a small town bringing fear and paranoia in his wake. == Background == A stranger comes to a small town with a terrible secret. His presence has unintended consequences for a doctor ([Marcus Lovett](/source/Marcus_Lovett)) and his wife ([Jill Paice](/source/Jill_Paice)). Fear and paranoia grow when a child goes missing. In the end an unbearable loss brings a family and a town back together. The musical's quirky title spelling is a variation on "sick bastard." The show's logo is a vanity license plate. SCKBSTD includes 19 original songs by three-time [Grammy Award](/source/Grammy_Award) winner (and 13-time nominee) Bruce Hornsby, who has sold 11 million records. Songs from SCKBSTD were featured on Hornsby's 2009 CD [Levitate](/source/Levitate_(Bruce_Hornsby_album)). ==Productions== ===Virginia Stage Company (2011)=== The world premiere of SCKBSTD took place at the [Wells Theatre](/source/Wells_Theatre) in [Norfolk, VA](/source/Norfolk%2C_VA) on January 21, 2011, and ran until February 6, 2011.
