This Pulitzer Prize winning drama opens with Jessie calmly asking her mother for her father’s service revolver, in order to commit suicide that very evening. With brutal honesty Jessie reveals the reasons for her decision and how thoroughly she has planned her own death. Suspense builds as Mama desperately tries to alter her daughter’s plans, sharing truths about issues that have affected Jesse’s life, but were never communicated to her. This is the dialogue that most never get to have about suicide.
Will it change Jessie’s mind?

JESSIE: late thirties (or early forties), needs to have a haunting quality a sort of hollow-eyed focus on “somewhere else” *women in their 20’s are encouraged to audition, we might skew this a bit younger
MAMA: late fifties (or early sixties), needs to be sturdy but have a comfortable quality to her, she is the child in the play

True West, by Sam Shepard, tells the story of two brothers. Austin, a “successful” young man with a family and a budding screenwriting career house-sits for his mother who is away on vacation. Austin’s brother Lee, an alcoholic, thief and a failure, happens to return home while Austin is watching the house. The play explores the relationship of this polar pair when Saul Kimmer, a big Hollywood producer, picks up an idea for a screenplay that Lee pitches during a golf outing. When Saul drops Austin’s romance story for Lee’s Western, the two brothers battle between combining forces and killing each other. True West drives through moments of compelling drama and comedy.
True West is being produced, directed and designed by Grand Valley students and alumni. The project first began when Chuck Fortenbacher, a Grand Valley actor/director, organized the production elements for a play that he would produce and direct independently of the Grand Valley stage, as well as downtown Grand Rapids production companies. The focus for this group of up and coming thespians is on making your own opportunities.

Caledonia Community Players Presents
Music and Lyrics by Stephen Schwartz (composer of Wicked)
Book by John Caird (author of Les Miserables)
Children of Eden is an epic musical on a grand scale, based on the Book of Genesis. In the first Act, we are told the story of Adam and Eve, and Cain and Abel. In the second Act, we see the story of Noah and the Flood. This presentation transcends cultural differences and reaches a universal appeal, in showcasing the challenges and successes of families, of parents and children, of generations to generations. With incredible music and an appeal for all ages, Children of Eden has grown into an enormously popular show worldwide for regional and community theatre despite its humble beginnings (a brief run on London’s West End in 1991 and no Broadway debut to date) and Caledonia Community Players are proud and fortunate to conclude the 2009-2010 season with a show of this caliber.
