FOR
A YEAR DOWN YONDER
A new play adapted by John Dilworth Newman from the award winning novel by Richard Peck
Directed by Richard De Genaro
Fifteen-year-old Mary Alice is a long way from Chicago—again. After spending a memorable summer with crazy Grandma Dowdel in rural Illinois, she returns to this “hick town” for a yearlong stay. Against the backdrop of the Great Depression, and through the eyes of a displaced city girl, we see a heartwarming and humorous picture of country life. Through all the characters’ wild adventures (and misadventures), we find that when times are tough, laughter is the best remedy.
