Birmingham Festival Theatre Presents TOBACCO ROAD, 7/29-8/7

By: Lauren Wolman Jul. 18, 2010

Tobacco Road will delight and astound you with its humorous and biting look at the lives of sharecropper Jeeter Lester and his family, trapped by poverty in rural Georgia as their living standards steadily decline. This powerful drama, adapted from the controversial novel by Erskine Caldwell, invites us to laugh at our shortcomings.

Matinee @ 2:30 pm
Sunday, August 1
