August 15-25 – The Drawer Boy (CRT)
Posted by Dustin Horton // August 4, 2012 // Arts & Live Music, Calendar of Events
Set in 1972, this surprisingly funny, tender but tough play tells the story of two aging Canadian dairy farmers, both WWII veterans, who have their quiet lives disturbed when a young actor appears on their farm, asking to study the rituals and chores of the world of farming. Unwittingly, the young man reveals the truth behind one of the farmer’s memory loss and learns how storytelling can interpret reality and transform lives. Since its premiere, this play has won countless awards, including Canada’s Governor General’s Literary Award and The Helen Hayes Award. It also made Time Magazine’s top ten list as “a new classic” and in 2004 became the most produced play in American regional theatres.
