ABOUT THE SHOW
When the men of a small prohibition-era town decide to put on a play dressed in "fancy-type, women-type clothes," the entire community is affected: gender lines blur, eyebrows raise, identities explode, and life and art are forever entangled. This thoughtful and exuberant Midwestern fable uncovers the woman in every man, the man in every woman and the power of theatre to uncover both.
