Our Fall Play:
Chipola by Waylon Wood
When the power goes out after a July storm in a small town in the Florida panhandle,
Wanna June Duke is determined to enjoy a languid evening under the stars by the light of the full moon.
But her son Roy Boy picks up (literally) their persnickety neighbor Miss Bailey
and deposits her in a lawn chair in the yard; her eldest daughter Dot arrives after leaving her husband;
and her younger daughter Jewel, fresh from a rendezvous at the river, has secrets to spill.
Like the river for which it is named, this play meanders, revealing a family’s history and the skeletons
in their closets that could finally tear them apart.
In a field house overlooking the Colonial army at the decisive battle of the American Revolutionary War, two great Generals and their wives dedicate themselves to the cause of liberty, avow their love for one another and marshal the constitution of purpose to birth a fledgling nation.
Starring: Andrew Kaempfer* as Major General Henry Knox, Chloe Rose as Mrs. Lucy Knox, James Knight* as Major General Nathanael Greene, Jenny Strassburg* as Mrs. Catherine Greene and Gregory Jones as General George Washington. Featuring: Robbie Baum, Tommy Nelms, Tom O'Neill and Jason Gray.
