Rob Bell, New York Times Best Selling Author, one of TIME Magazine's 100 Most Influential People in the World in 2011, Host of the RobCast-named Best of 2015 Podcast by iTunes, has written a surreal story of four mountain climbers obsessed with being the first to reach the top of the mountain only to discover that the peak is actually the lowest part, metaphorically of course.

Main Street Theater presents the Regional Premiere of Daddy Long Legs based on the classic novel by Jean Webster and featuring music and lyrics by Tony Award-nominated composer/lyricist, Paul Gordon (Jane Eyre), and Tony-winning librettist/director, John Caird (Les Miserables). "This show has the same romantic appeal that draws me to stories like Little Women and Anne of Green Gables as well as romantic period pieces like Downton Abbey and The Forsythe Saga," shares director Andrew Ruthven. "This love story is certainly a 'rags to riches' tale, but the heart of Daddy Long Legs is a young woman coming into her own. The show is punctuated by Jean Webster's very strong feminist stance. She pulls no punches in Jerusha's beliefs in votes for women, equality of the sexes, and the battle of sexes."
