THEATRE + COMEDY

Stages Repertory Theatre presents the regional premiere of Man from Nebraska, by Tracy Letts. April 21 - May 16, 2010.

Ken Carpenter is a good husband and father who awakens who night to realize that he no longer believes in God. As his family grapples with this shock to their orderly lives, Ken follows his pastor's advice and strikes out on a quest for his faith that leads him through the wild world of London counterculture and ultimately to a new beginning.

A masterpiece of subtlety and grace by Pulitzer Prize-winner Tracy Letts (August, Osage County), this moving, funny play reveals yearning and deep emotion beneath the surface of seemingly tranquil lives.

Directed by Leslie Swackhamer (Rabbit Hole, Amy's View, The Andrews Brothers, Lady).  Starring Paul Hope, Christine McMurdo-Wallis (Rabbit Hole), Charles Krohn, Davdi Matranga (Grey Gardens), Sylvia Froman (Amy's View), Jon Egging (Southern Rapture), Lisa Thomas Morrison (Mr. Marmalade), Krissy Richmond, and Portia Gant.

RECOMMENDED FOR MATURE AUDIENCES.
