World Premiere of HEAR THE GRASS GROW Runs in Sacramento

The B Street Theatre, Sacramento's professional new works theatre, is pleased to present the world premiere of HEAR THE GRASS GROW, written and directed by Buck Busfield. HEAR THE GRASS GROW is the fourth show in the B Street Theatre's seven-show, 2008-2009 mainstage season.

When gubernatorial candidate Ernie Putalik is challenged by a personal loss, he seeks solace in the strangest of places with the strangest of friends. A touching contemporary comedy, HEAR THE GRASS GROW is written and directed by Producing Artistic Director Buck Busfield. Mr. Busfield has worked for the B Street Theatre since its creation in 1986. In his over twenty-year tenure, he has directed over 100 productions and has penned over two dozen original scripts. HEAR THE GRASS GROW continues the B Street Theatre's tradition of producing an original, new play for the holidays each year.

Previous original holiday scripts by Buck Busfield include AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT, MAKE SOMEONE HAPPY and THROWING PARTIES.

HEAR THE GRASS GROW features David Pierini as Ernie Putalik, along with fellow B Street Theatre Acting Company members Elisabeth Nunziato, Stephanie McVay and Ed Claudio.
