LAST TRAIN TO NIBROC begins in the winter of 1940 when Raleigh and May are forced to share a seat on a crowded train headed east – an event that changes the path of both of their lives forever. Raleigh, a recently discharged flyboy who dreams of becoming a writer, and May, a young woman set on becoming a missionary, meet and discover that they grew up mere miles from each other in Kentucky. The possibility of romance emerges, and the two imagine going to the Nibroc festival together in May’s hometown. But they are thwarted by their own natures and by circumstances. This intimate and charming exploration of human relationships premiered at the New York Fringe Festival in 1998. The play quickly moved Off-Broadway, where it was nominated for Best Play by the New York Drama League. The Associated Press described the show as “a gently charming play reminiscent of Thornton Wilder in its look at rustic Americans who are to be treasured for their simplicity and directness.” The reviewer from the Financial Times called the play “beautifully written,” adding that “every line is a heartbeat.”

SEE ROCK CITY opens with May and Raleigh returning to Corbin, Kentucky after plans to honeymoon in Rock City are derailed. The newlyweds settle into small-town life, living with May’s parents. May is the local school principal; and Raleigh, discharged from the army for medical reasons, is beginning to find success as a short-story writer. The couple works to make ends meet and find their place in the community under the watchful eyes of May’s gentle and supportive mother (Mrs. Gill), and Raleigh’s taciturn, judgmental mother (Mrs. Brummett). When victory overseas results in unexpected consequences on the home front, May and Raleigh must confront hidden truths and deal with the challenges of a new, post-war America.
