Pipick, played by David Blankenbecker and the hooker, Chi Chi la Boo Boo,

Faith County is the prequel to Faith County II: An Evening of Culture byPlaymakers in January, 2009. You will recognize those charming charactersfrom The Mineola Cultural Society who gave an “unforgettable” performancof Romeo and Juliet .
Somewhere in the middle of nowhere in the south, there's a place where the bee-hive hairdo is still the rage and Saturday nights are reserved for the tract pull in nearby Pickler. A colorful collection of good ole' country folk gather'round for this year's county fair, and there's stiff competition in the arts andcrafts category.
By Jeffrey Hatcher and Mitch AlbomBased on the book by Mitch Albom
Tuesdays with Morrie is the driven solely by his career, and MorrieSchwartz, his former college professor. Sixteen years after graduation, Mitch
happens to catch Morrie's appearance on a television news program and learn
that his old professor is battling Lou Gehrig's Disease. Mitch is reunited withMorrie, and what starts as a simple visit turns into a weekly pilgrimage and a
last class in the meaning of life.
By Frances Goodrich & Albert Hackett
Newly Adapted by Wendy Kesselman
In this transcendently powerful new adaptation by Wendy Kesselman, Anne
Frank merges from history a living, lyrical, intensely gifted young girl, whoconfronts her rapidly changing life and the increasing horror of her time with
astonishing honest, wit, and determination. An impassioned drama about the
lives of eight people hiding from the Nazis in a concealed storage attic, The Diary of Anne Frank captures the claustrophobic realities of their daily exis-
tence – their fear, their hope, their laughter, their grief.
