How do you go on when the people you love die? If you could see them one more time, what would you say? What would you want to hear? Gina Harris got the chance. An audio drama in seven acts, 'The Magic of Ordinary Things' is a musical memoir that tells her story. It is a theatre piece, a dream with original music, a tale that spans 43 years, two parents, a singing teacher, and a lonesome cowboy named Deets. It tells of how moments missed and things once taken for granted become the stepping stones to a new life. It's never too late. Everyone you miss is waiting inside you.MORE Producer/Network Gina Harris
