2. Talley's Folly by Lanford Wilson

The Pulitzer Prize winning play about the unlikeliest of love stories. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, this classic American play takes place in a deserted boathouse in Lebanon, Missouri in 1944. Narrator and protagonist, Matt Friedman has come from St. Louis to profess his love to Sally Talley, an uncertain and shy “spinster” in her 30s. Matt, an older Jewish immigrant from Lithuania, has little more than an hour and a half to convince Sally, a Protestant from a conservative family, to run off with him and get married. Through it all, they must share their darkest secrets and most painful memories, but as Matt says, “This is the kind of romance that can only be found in the theatre.”  Directed by Brittany Connors, “Talley’s Folly” features * Jeff Thomakos and Jessica Annunziata. This activity is supported by the MICHIGAN ARTS AND CULTURE COUNCIL and CULTURE SOURCE.
