2. The Grapes Of Wrath
When: Oct 13-18 @ 8:00 pm Oct 18 @ 2:30 pm
Where: Seney Stovall Chapel
By John Steinbeck; adapated by Frank Galati. This powerful and deeply affecting stage version of
one of the masterpieces of American literature holds to the simplicity and directness of the
original novel. Despite the anguish and suffering which it depicts, the play becomes in the final
essence a soaring and deeply moving affirmation of the indomitability of the human spirit, a
message as needed today as it was in the days of the Great Depression.
