Lyric & Poetry

When there is a shortage of men during World War II in a rural Michigan town, Myrtle decides to become a preacher. She ministers to her community with wit, wisdom, a practical approach and insights far ahead of her time. But when the war ends, Myrtle must look to her close-knit family for support, as she battles small-town preconceptions that stand in the way of her continuing ministry. A Victory Gardens Theater co-production.

An L.A. Theatre Works full cast performance featuring:

Meg Thalken as Myrtle Barbara June Patterson as Daisy Mary Mulligan as Bernadette Tim Sheridan as Eli Nancy Lollar as Charlotte Deanna Dunagan as Gertie Joe D. Lauck as Tom Larry Neumann Jr. as Orvis

Directed by Sandy Shinner. Recorded before a live audience at the Guest Quarters Suite Hotel, Chicago in April of 1992.
