FRONT ROW SEAT
by Kathy Anderson
directed by David Stradley
It is 1963 and the Flannery family is on a trip, a rare outing from their little hometown. They are not experienced travelers and suffer multiple mishaps and calamities. Frannie wrestles with a killer girdle. Inez crashes into a wayward cow. Billy fends off a kinfe-wielding Christian. But they are increasingly determined to realize their once-in-a-lifetime chance to see the President and First Lady in person. And they want to be right up front.
Starring Meg Arbo, Sara Group, Nick Suders, Ian Sullivan, and Janine White.
Tickets are now on sale for performances: March 6 @ 2pm; March 14 @ 7pm; March 21 @ 2pm.
