Life turns upside down in a small Kansas town when a handsome drifter arrives to stir hearts both young and old. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the Tony Award and the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award, this bittersweet comedy has set audiences’ hearts ablaze as lives are changed on Labor Day weekend at the annual community picnic. It’s never too late to fall in love!

A small remembrance ceremony and toast will be given at 7 p.m. To RSVP, contact the CCM Box Office at (513) 556-4183, or e-mail John.McDonagh@uc.edu.
