LOOK HOMEWARD, ANGEL Opens 11/2 at Secret Rose Theatre

And then there's Eliza, the infamous mother of this invention. This Holiday Season, journey to North Carolina circa 1916 as a young man rises to fulfill his destiny to be "somebody" . Based on Thomas Wolfe's autobiographical novel of the same name, Look Homeward, Angel examines the life of a young man growing up in a small town in the mountains of North Carolina during the early part of the 20th century.
