Winner of the 2011 Southern Playwright’s competition

Nathan Coleman is 45 years old. A clerk in a bookstore, his marriage is failing and his life is going nowhere fast. But one day he gets a mysterious letter, a map and old photos in the mail—photos of the father who abandoned Nathan and his mother 35 years before. Impulsively he drives to the small Southern town where the old man grew up and plunges into the middle of a violent struggle between the Old South and the New. Along the way he finds clues to his father’s fate and a room in a house that holds a painful secret.

About JSU Drama

JSU has one of only five theatre departments in the state of Alabama to be accredited by the National Association of Schools of Theatre. First accredited in 1994, JSU has met strict standards for strong theatrical and academic training. Our department offers a strong liberal arts education combined with excellent production, performance and design opportunities for our students. In addition to our strong academic commitment, the drama department also presents 5-6 main stage productions each year. Our students are involved in all aspects of production both onstage and backstage.

As many of you know, JSU Drama lost a dear friend this summer. As the long time department secretary and so much more Jan Rhodes will be missed by students, faculty and patrons alike.

In addition to dedicating the performance season to her memory, a group of drama alumni are seeking to endow a scholarship in honor. You may obtain more information or make a donation by contacting the JSU Foundation (256-782-5306) or check the JSU Foundation on-line: www.jsu.edu/giving.
