directed by Daniel Bourque
Hub Theatre Company of Boston will close its highly acclaimed debut season with a sparkling Appalachian-flavored holiday show, Sand Mountain, a pair of one-act plays by award winning American playwright Romulus Linney.
In the first piece, Sand Mountain Matchmaking, a recently widowed preacher’s daughter must repel a trio of unsuitable suitors and find true love with the help of a wise old medicine woman’s colorful suggestion.
In the second story, Why the Lord Come to Sand Mountain, the Lord and St. Peter drop in on a dirt-poor mountain family on Christmas Eve to swig corn whiskey and swap progressively absurd folk tales. However, the evening takes a thoughtful turn when the Lord requests one tale in particular.
Romulus Linney’s lively, ribald and unforgettable backwoods characters are portrayed by an ensemble of fine local actors, accompanied on fiddle by Julia Alvarez performing an array of traditional and original compositions.
We will happily collect your gently-used or unopened toys to donate to area shelters and non-profits.
