THE NIMBROC TRILOGY Continues The Story From LAST TRAIN TO NIMBROC At B Street

B Street Theatre will stage a summer of romance, comedy and family drama in Arlene Hutton's THE NIBROC TRILOGY. THE NIBROC TRILOGY continues the story of young Kentuckians Raleigh and May, so delightfully started in LAST TRAIN TO NIBROC.

LAST TRAIN TO NIBROC, twice produced at B Street Theatre, introduces recently discharged soldier Raleigh to school teacher May on a cross country train during the height on World War II. Building on the narrative (and success) of LAST TRAIN TO NIBROC, Ms. Hutton penned two sequels: SEE ROCK CITY and GULF VIEW DRIVE.

THE NIBROC TRILOGY will run sequentially in the B Street Theatre's B-2 space over a 5 month period. Reprising his role as Raleigh will be B Street company member Jason Kuykendall. Company member Dana Brooke will play May. Additional casting is not fully set. B Street artistic director Buck Busfield will direct LAST TRAIN TO NIBROC, and GULF VIEW DRIVE. Elisabeth Nunziato will direct SEE ROCK CITY

THE NIBROC TRILOGY
With romance, comedy and a grace evocative of the era in American history during which it is set, Arlene Hutton's THE NIBROC TRILOGY follows one couple's tumultuous journey through WWII on the home front and post-war America.

LAST TRAIN TO NIBROC
May and Raleigh meet in 1940 on an eastbound train which carries the bodies of F. Scott Fitzgerald and Nathanael West. Unable to enlist because of a medical condition he wants to be a writer, she wants to be a missionary and they discover they are from neighboring towns in Kentucky. In this boy-meets-girl romance, nominated for Best Play 2000 by the New York Drama League, two young people navigate through the tough time of a country at war discovering what they have to give up and to get what they really want.

SEE ROCK CITY
The Appalachian romance continues the story of May and Raleigh, who plan to honeymoon at Rock City, Tennessee in 1943. When victory overseas brings unexpected consequences at home, the young Kentucky couple is forced to face hidden truths and find common solutions to the challenges of a new post-war America.

GULF VIEW DRIVE
Hutton's saga ends with the aftermath of war and the breakup of the traditional family. Ten years into their marriage, May and Raleigh live in an island community off the gold coast of Florida. Their dream house shrinks as relatives descend, further testing the couple's love in the romantic, humorous, and insightful glimpse of life in the 1950's
