Set in Tucson, Arizona, 'A Small Saving Grace' is a tale of suspense with wry sensibilities, offbeat characters and just enough menace to make the reader wince and say, 'No, don't go there.'
Life is in turmoil, yet against the odds, Andy, and those who love her, make slow, but steady progress. All the while, Andy's attacker is stalking the entire household, searching for the right opportunity to kill his only living witness before she regains her ability to communicate.
'A Small Saving Grace' is full of suspense, but at its heart, this is a story of love, resilience, perseverance and healing.
'G. Davies Jandrey's, A Small Saving Grace, tackles a family in crisis with brutal honesty and emotional depth. Peppered with quirky humor and a gallery of characters you won't soon forget, Jandrey dishes up a meaty stew.' -Gerry Hernbrode, author of Provincial Justice

Chili. It's comfort food with a kick - a creation of chuck wagon cooks to fuel cowboys along the cattle trail. A steaming 'bowl of red' is the official dish of Texas, and the Lone Star State traces its origins to the legendary Mexican Chili Queens of San Antonio who lined the city's plazas with pots of homemade chili. Chuck wagon chefs were said to have planted small gardens of herbs, onions and peppers along the cattle trail to ensure a steady supply of ingredients. The meat in the stew could include whatever was available - beef, buffalo, jackrabbit and even armadillo. Outlaws loved it - Frank and Jesse James spared the local bank in the town where their favorite chili parlor stood.

Patrick Kramer's commanding performance as Frederick Frankenstein (that's 'FRONKENsteen' for the uninitiated) in the Center for the Arts' production of Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein is reason enough to buy a ticket (if you're lucky enough to score one - shows are playing to capacity crowds in Murfreesboro, so make your reservations yesterday), but director Renee Robinson and musical director Stephen Burnette very adroitly surround him with such strong support that the entire ensemble of Transylvanian thespians is worth the price of admission.
William Partlan's craftsmanship and reverential interpretation of Arthur Miller's THE PRICE, now featured at Theatre Artists Studio, makes for a compelling and emotionally taut experience. He has guided his top flight cast through the depths and layers of Miller's architecture, opening one door of perception after another until truth stands naked at the exit, backed by the haunting laughter of irony.
