NPAC presents
GREENEVILLE,
You will laugh and cry with the women of Ivy Gap. In Act I, the women of Ivy Gap gather at First Baptist to roll bandages and plan the church's 75th anniversary. Overseeing things is Edith, the pastor's wise-cracking wife who dispenses Red Cross smocks and witty repartee to Luby, whose son is fighting in the Pacific; Mae Ellen, the church's rebellious organist who wants to quit but hasn't the courage; Olene, who dreams of a career in Hollywood; Sammy, a shy newcomer with a secret; and Vera, an influential Baptist with a secret of her own. When Luby learns her son has been wounded, she confounds the others by blaming the vulnerable Sammy.
Twenty-five years later, our "First Baptist Six" reunite. Back to reconcile with Luby - whose son died of his wounds - is Sammy, whose own son is now in
With humor and pathos, these six very different women find comfort, forgiveness and redemption in each other. A warm and family-oriented story about six strong and resourceful characters that is very funny, all the more because it relies on deep human emotions to bring forth the humor, First Baptist of Ivy Gap is winner of multiple playwriting awards.
The show will be on Saturday, March 29th, at 7:30 p.m.. For tickets or more information, contact the NPAC box office at (423) 638-1679 or visit the website at www.greenevillenpac.com. NPAC is located adjacent to
