Rumors circulate and children are told to keep their distance.
Rose-Johnny , like all of Barbara Kingsolver's works, deals with the lives of ordinary people faced with difficult life choices. Their decisions have consequences that are sometimes tragic, often cathartic and always profound. America makes her the target of ridicule and scorn in a closed community that is rife with racial and sexual prejudice. Director Sandra Langsner-Crews stages the production using a set stripped to the bare essentials. Her wonderfully expressive cast delivers all of the power and emotion of the story through a combination of dialog, narrative and movement.
