THE LAST TRAIN TO NIBROC
Presented by Fairfield Footlighters
Nov. 11-20
Fairfield 

Set between 1940-1943, “Nibroc” begins aboard a train with the chance encounter between a recently discharged soldier named Raleigh and a young schoolteacher named May. The strangers on a train discover they hale from the same part of Kentucky and begin to fall for each other.

Raleigh, who was discharged from the Army because he suffers from epilepsy, is intent on moving to New York to become a writer. May, who has a burning desire to help others, is preparing for missionary work abroad. Their dreams seem to point in opposite directions, as do their temperaments.

Raleigh, with a gentle sense of humor and a tolerance for other people’s faults is extremely sensitive about his own. His easily hurt pride is a stumbling block in his courtship of May, whose generous spirit is tempered by a judgmental streak stemming from her sheltered life.

Directed by Patricia Davis and produced by John Vanderplough

Cast: Elizabeth McDonough as May& Chris Server as Raleigh
