Directed by Regina Pugh

Cast: Alyssa Faught as Jesse Hopper, Colin Edgar as Normal Cantrell, Sue Breving as Libby Cantrell, Burgess Byrd as Willie, Alex Escher as Carter, Tom Manning as Mr. Cantrell, Joanna Tyler as TT Riley & Ryan Naish as the Moving Man

The story of a young man, Norman, who resists the urgings of his closest friend and his girlfriend to leave home to make his way in the world during America’s Great Depression. Norman feels strongly he must remain to care for his parents. Whether it’s fear of the unknown that might lie ahead or sense of duty, he chooses to stay, and thus becomes a caretaker of a way of life that was fast disappearing. Ten vivid characters tell us about a time and place in our lives and give us a lot to root for in the American spirit.
