It is war time, 1942, in a small Texas town. There, four ladies of 60 who have known each other all their lives form the local garden club and have a hand in most of the social activities of the town. Laura Lee, the wife of the mayor who disappeared a year ago, is more or less the leader. The others are her sister-in-law, her sister and a married lady named Glendine. On this day, Laura Lee brings home a waifish 18-year-old girl she found at the bus stop, tired and hungry. She had been waiting for her soldier boyfriend so they could be married before he shipped out. The big-hearted ladies decide to stage a real, elaborate wedding for the girl, but, will the boy actually arrive and will the differences among the women that have been half-hidden come to the surface? This is a lovely play with laughs and heartfelt emotion. Free on-site parking. Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. Sunday at 2 p.m. Tickets are $15

Kevin Grauke reads from “Shadows of Men,” where the author explores what it means to be a man in the 21st century. Comical and poignant, his characters flounder about in typical male fashion but somehow make us trust their sincerity and, oddly, their heroism.“Kevin Grauke is our post-Hemingway. Shadows of Men is In our Time after the swamp has become a subdivision. Grauke writes from deep inside his fraught, clear-eyed protagonists.” Debra Monroe, author of The Source of Trouble and On the Outskirts of Normal.
Shaun Haurin reads from “Public Displays of Affectation,” in which the stories feature remarkably true-to-life characters coping with our postmodern culture. The characters are continually trying to reinvent themselves to find their place in the world. “….a subtle and emotionally complex examination of the ties that bind.” Philadelphia Inquirer.
