Mid-Strut
When her longtime husband, Jack, has an affair, Wendy finds herself at a crossroads. Then, an admirer from her baton-twirling glory days three decades earlier seeks to once and for all kindle his unrequited love. Also named Jack, this charming man sweeps the former majorette off her feet. Funny, real and poignant, Eric Burns' world-premier play strikes a very human chord. Ronald Allan-Lindblom directs the world premiere of this 2010 Eudora Welty Emerging Playwrights' Award winner.
