​

Casting note from the director: While I intend to produce the show as set in 1963, I am not concerned with preserving "traditional" casting norms of the period. Corie, Paul, and Mother each can be of any ethnicity, and I do not need them to be of the same ethnicity. Casting for all roles will be based on performance quality, ability to fit the role, and chemistry between characters. 

​

Why this show? The 75th Anniversary season of Mud Creek Players consists of re-producing shows from each of our seven decades!
