The Show:
Book of Days is set in a small town dominated by a cheese plant, a fundamentalist church and a community theatre. When the owner of the cheese plant dies mysteriously in a hunting accident, Ruth, his bookkeeper, suspects murder. Cast as the lead in a local production of St. Joan, Ruth takes on the attributes of her fictional character and launches into a one-woman campaign to see justice done. In Book of Days Lanford Wilson uses note-perfect language to create characters who are remarkable both for their comic turns and for their enormous depth.

Steve Alguire, Adam Bramble, Phi Bulani, Stuart Dowling, Debra Hale, Jill Harland, Elva Mai Hoover, Robin Schisler, Christopher Sharp, Ivan Sherry, Colleen Williams, Duane Woods

"Lezlie Wade directs with a keen eye and ear for the work's choral underpinning and overt sense of theatricality"
