About the Plays

Goldstar, Ohio
Written by Michael Tisdale
Directed by PJ Paparelli
Ohio. 2005. When military casualty officers arrive with devastating news, the lives of four families are forever changed. Taken from over 75 hours of interviews with residents of Ohio, this groundbreaking documentary drama explores the domestic effects of the Iraq war on small town life in rural America.

Hot Georgia Sunday
Written by Catherine Trieschmann
Directed by Anne Adams
Georgia. 2010. A group of parishioners from the local Baptist church each tell their version of the events of one legendary weekend that rocked a small rural community. Assembling an unforgettable group of “locals”, this world premiere play takes city folk on a journey into the lives of the faithful in a rural American congregation.

We Three
Written by Mary Hamilton
Directed by Jason W. Gerace
A Small Town. Winter. This modern American folktale follows the intertwining of three lives around the mysterious disappearance of a local girl who has believed to have fallen through the ice of a local creek. This haunting and powerful tale explores the beliefs we create to fill absences and deep wounds of longing and loss.
