We regret that due to cast and production staff conflicts, we are unable to present An Inspector Calls in March. Still, we are excited to announce the show that will replace it…
LAST TRAIN TO NIBROC
by Arlene Hutton
Directed by Janet Bouman Peterson
Friday, March 18 – Sunday, April 3
“We’re all changing. We’re all riding this country’s future like this train’s a’rolling along the track, just hoping we get somewhere and don’t run off the tracks somewhere along the way.” December 28, 1940. Raleigh, an officer on medical discharge, first meets May, an aspiring missionary, on a cross-country train, although they live only miles apart in Kentucky. In three scenes over three years, they laugh, relate, misunderstand, clash and observe what’s happening in the world and each other. Last Train to Nibroc is a timely love story that “weave[s] the epic and the incidental with the lightest and least obtrusive thread.” (Ginia Bellafante, New York Times.)
Artistic Director Janet Bouman Peterson returns to directing after her “homespun hit” (Shepherd Express) Sanders Family Christmas. Maura Atwood, last seen in An Inspector Calls, portrays the sincere and strong-minded May. A.J. Magoon, who recently triumphed in the one-man show Thom Pain (based on nothing), makes his Acacia debut asthe good-humored and troubled Raleigh.
