A LESSON BEFORE DYING by Romulus Linney is based on the novel by Ernest J. Gaines.

So, the Encore Theatre's production, directed by Harold J. Haynes, was something I was looking forward to.

The Pearl Theater opened their production of A LESSON BEFORE DYING, which plays through this Sunday, February 26, a little over a week ago. So naturally, I decided to talk to the show's director, Denise O'Neal, yesterday.
