  • A High Country Christmas
    P O Box 96, Newton, Iowa 50208, Phone: 641-792-1230, www.newtontheatre.com A High Country Christmas By Robert Inman Directed by Pam Ratliff & Mary Thompson December 1 & 2, 2017 at 7:30 PM December 3, 2017 at 2:00 PM December 7, 8 & 9, 2017 at 7:30 PM It’s Christmas Eve day during the era of the Great Depression in a rural mountain area where families struggle to keep body and soul together. Miserly Silas McTavish owns and operates a general store—with the help of his long-suffering clerk, Abner Veazey, and Abner’s son, Caleb—where hard bargains are struck and credit is never allowed. As Silas prepares for bed, a mysterious stranger “Guest” appears at the foot of Silas’ bed and commands him to follow on a journey through Christmas past, present and future. Their first stop is Silas’ boyhood home in Scotland, where as a young man he announces to his family that he is going to America, leaving his sweetheart, Fiona, behind. The second stop is Abner Veazey’s home, where his large impoverished family steadfastly maintains Christmas cheer despite Caleb’s worsening condition. Mrs. Walker arrives with her sick infant. The final stop of Silas and the Guest—Christmas future—is a graveyard where a funeral service is underway for Caleb and the Walker infant, whose lives could have been saved by a doctor. The Guest departs after reminding Silas that he has the power to alter Christmas future. Silas awakens on Christmas morning deeply moved by his nightlong journey.

  • An Interview with Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee
    Studies in American Drama. 1945 - Present. 1992, vol. 7:1: p.3-18. ISSN: 0886-7097 http://www.ohiostatepress.org/ © Ohio State University Press,1992. An Interview with Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee By Nena Couch As one of the great partnerships in theatre, Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee have written some of the longest running and most widely produced plays of this century, many of which have been called contemporary theatre classics. But their proudest accolade is when they are described as "The Thinking-Person's Playwrights." Ironically, since they most often work as a team, Lawrence and Lee have been dedicated, enthusiastic proponents of the individual. This commitment to the "dignity of the individual human mind," [Jerome Lawrence, "The Renaissance Man" (Lecture delivered at The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, 5 May 1969), 2] apparent in their first Broadway success, Look, Ma, I'm Dancin'! in 1948, has continued to their newest play, Whisper in the Mind which premiered on October 5, 1990. Be that individual a delightful and free-thinking Mame (Auntie Mame and Mame) who urges us to discover new things about ourselves and the world, a Drummond (Inherit the Wind) whose balancing of the Bible and Darwin shows us that the open and inquiring mind is our champion against censorship, a Countess Aurelia (Dear World) who proves to us that "one person can change the world," a Supreme Court Justice Dan Snow (First Monday in October) who fights for the light for everyone, or a Thoreau (The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail) who is not afraid to march to a different drummer, Lawrence and Lee have populated stages all over the world with sometimes serious, sometimes witty, but always passionately committed, individuals.
