THE DRAWER BOY Opens Tonight at COM Community Theatre

Peer into memories forged over a lifetime - and lost - in "The Drawer Boy" at College of the Mainland Community Theatre May 21 to June 7.

Set in Canada in 1972, aspiring actor Miles seeks to discover the secrets of farming for an upcoming role. Working alongside two lifelong farmers and friends, Miles slowly unravels the lessons of farming and of the men's lives after World War II.

With unfailing humor and poignancy, the play explores memory loss, relationships and self-discovery.

"It's a drama with comedic elements," said technical director Curt Meyer. "Slowly the past comes to light."

The play runs Thursday through Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2:30 p.m.
