Jewish Repertory continues its 16th season with the 1980 Pulitzer-prize winning play, Talley's Folly, by Lanford Wilson, February 7 - March 3.

Set in a 1944 deserted Victorian boathouse on the Talley place in Lebanon, Missouri, Talley's Folly follows Matt Friedman, an accountant from St. Louis, who has arrived to plead his love to Sally Talley, the susceptible but uncertain daughter of the family. Bookish, erudite, totally honest, and delightfully funny, Matt refuses to accept Sally's rebuffs and her fears that her family would never approve of their marriage. Charming and indomitable, Matt gradually overcomes Sally's defenses, telling his innermost secrets to his loved one and, in return, learning hers as well.

For the third show of its season Around Town, Theater J brings Lanford Wilson's Pulitzer Prize-winning romantic comedy Talley's Folly to GALA Hispanic Theatre December 7 - 30. A funny and heartwarming theatrical duet, Talley's Folly, is set on a moonlit night in 1944 Missouri, where Matt Friedman, a middle-aged Jewish accountant, has only one chance to win the heart of Sally Talley, a 31 year-old 'old maid' from a bigoted Protestant family. After a lifetime of believing they'll never truly belong in the world around them, they reawaken one another to love, ultimately finding that they do belong - together.

Gradually it is clear that they are two kindred spirits who have truly found each other-two 'lame ducks' who, in their union, will find a wholeness rare in human relationships.
