Reviews

"director Sherrionne Brown evokes top-flight performances from everyone in the cast"
-- Dan Collins, The Examiner

"the principal actors all have fine moments and ultimately give winning performances ... Charlene V. Smith gives a sense of Millie's awkward entry into the adult world"
--Mike Giulian0, Towson Times

It’s Labor Day weekend, 1953, in a small Kansas town and options are few for the stunningly beautiful Madge and her independent younger sister, Millie, who yearn for more than the life of staid domesticity awaiting them.

Then, fresh off a freight train comes drifter, Hal Carter, a robust, handsome, but troubled show-off who impacts the lives of everyone he encounters. The sexual magnetism with Madge is instant, but can she reject all she’s been taught to follow her heart?

Inge wrote this Pulitzer Prize winning classic in homage to the aching hearts of the women he'd grown up with in his mother's Kansas boarding house. He depicts the pleasure-and the pain-of risking everything to choose your own path.
