by A.R. Gurney

A middle-aged playwright returns home, seeking permission from his well-to-do (and rather stuffy) parents to produce a play he has written about them. Disturbed by the bluntness of modern plays, controversy arises during the ritual of cocktail hour. Martinis flow – as do recriminations and revelations!

The music, by the late Harry Chapin, will have your toes tapping and your fingers snapping while the story will inspire and move you. Come see the show that The New York Times called “an exuberant country western hoe-down.” It’s the greatest story ever re-told, based on the book The Cotton Patch Version of Matthew and John by Clarence Jordan.

“Funny, sweet, touching and marvelously written” were praises for this warm and joyous story of a shy man’s attempt to woo and win his strait-laced sweetheart. This romantic and award-winning comedy is set in 1944, in the deserted boathouse of the Talley property in Lebanon, Missouri. Matt and Sally learn each other’s secrets, desires and fears. During this revealing journey they fall in love, discovering in their union a wholeness rare in relationships then and now. It’s a great note to end the season on!
