I got the bug. I just wanted to move to Nashville and give it a chance.” “I moved down to Nashville and started playing at Tootsies (World Famous Orchid Lounge) and Rippy’s (Table & Tavern), and all that fun stuff.

Sugarloaf Mountain Amphitheatre puts on original play for fall
CHILLICOTHE — As the leaves start to fall and the weather cools, that can only mean one thing for Ross County: It's time for Sugarloaf Mountain Amphitheatre's Haunted Mountain. Brandon Cavender Smith, CEO of The Scioto Society, said this is their 12th year of doing Haunted Mountain, but this year has a different spin on it, as Caleb Johnson, a Tecumseh actor, has stepped up as a playwright. "Last year, when we started thinking about doing shows in rotation and reading scripts and all of that, Caleb had written a play that we put on stage last summer," Smith said. "I was really impressed with his writing, so I just kind of approached him and asked if he'd be interested in writing three scripts for us." That was when Johnson's rendition of Dracula was born. "It's a completely original adaptation of it," Johnson said. "Without giving too much away, it definitely takes a bit more of an action twist compared to other adaptations of it. Where most adaptations are about good versus evil, we're a bit more about mortality versus immortality." Johnson said he's excited to have an opportunity to write for a production such as this, on top of
