Both of them find out the truth about the clothes, the money, and their love in the end. The play is written by Edith Weiss and directed by John Baker.

April 16, 2019 May 21, 2019 Whistling Past the Graveyard by Susan Crandall Discussion Leader: Judy Vann Whistling past the graveyard. That s what Daddy called it when you did something to keep your mind off your most worstest fear. In the summer of 1963, nine-year-old Starla Claudelle runs away from her strict grandmother s Mississippi home. Starla s destination is Nashville, where her mother went to become a famous singer, abandoning Starla when she was three. Walking a lonely country road, Starla accepts a ride from Eula, a black woman traveling alone with a white baby. Now, on the road trip that will change her life forever, Starla sees for the first time life as it really is as she reaches for a dream of how it could one day be. Whistling Season by Ivan Doig Discussion Leader: Jan James Can't cook but doesn't bite." So begins the newspaper ad offering the services of an "A-1 housekeeper, sound morals, exceptional disposition" that draws the hungry attention of widower Oliver Milliron in the fall of And so begins the unforgettable season that deposits the non-cooking, nonbiting, ever-whistling Rose Llewellyn and her font-of-knowledge brother, Morris Morgan, in Marias Coulee, Montana. When the schoolmarm runs off with an itinerant preacher, Morris is pressed into service, setting the stage for "several kinds of education"-none of them of the textbook variety-morris and Rose will bring to Oliver, his three sons, and the rambunctious students in the region's one-room schoolhouse.
