Reunion in Bartersville is a comedy written by Celeste Bedford Walker and directed by Jerry Dixon. The surviving members of the Bartersville High class of 1933 gather in their small Texas hometown for their 50th reunion, where a decades-old murder case is reopened when they are confronted by a ghost from their past. The play first premiered at the Billie Holiday Theatre in Brooklyn in 1987 and now makes its Chicago premiere, celebrating its 40th anniversary alongside CST. It is presented in association with LaChanze Productions.
