Nov 7, 8 & 9 -- Fallen Branches

Picnic, a summer romance

written by William Inge
directed by Sherrionne Brown
Nov 21 - Dec 21, 2008

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.
