Based on the experiences of
central author Daryl Lindstrom, sensitivity and humor abound in this enlightening, harrowing, funny and extremely touching play about one woman's experience with breast cancer. This expressive tale will speak to anyone dealing with a challenging situation, and deftly explores relationships with friends and family via wit and compassion.

PULLMAN CAR HIAWATHA by Thornton Wilder
Directed by Richard McElvain

November 15 at 6:00 p.m.
This one-act play by Thornton Wilder is in the spirit of OUR TOWN. A cast of 20-30 actors create the illusion of an overnight journey on a railroad Pullman car from New York to Chicago circa 1930. They accomplish this with no set or light cues. All they use is a bunch of chairs on an empty stage and their formidable acting skills. It is touching funny and deeply moving and runs less than an hour..

One of Shakespeare’s greatest plays, Othello tells the passionate story of a black general’s love for the beautiful white Venetian maiden, Desdemona. Once he wins the consent of her racist parents and marries, he is dragged into a maelstrom of jealousy contrived by one of Shakespeare’s greatest villains, Iago. Love, lust, intrigue, violence, and one of the most brilliant acts of deception in all dramatic literature make Othello a must see theatre event of this spring.
