Just Another Small Town

A desire for change drove Sean and Mary to board the train west.

A lack of money was why they hid their children in a cattle car instead of paying their fare.

As the children said later, travelling in a cattle car stinks.

However, the family made it to their new home.

Only to find themselves struggling to adjust to life on their new homestead.

That first winter was especially harsh.

Especially with the attention of jealous Mister Brown, who worked tirelessly to frustrate their efforts to establish a successful farm.

It’s amazing how hard some people will work to stop others from working, right?

Little did the McConnells realize at the time that they and their descendants would witness the efforts of the Honorable Walter Clifford to establish their little town…the great fire that tried to destroy it…and the grand vision of Donald Carruthers to establish the Agricultural Museum.

Who could have guessed all the things that were yet to come?

Both a humorous story of family life and the dramatic story of a vigorous community over seven decades, Just Another Small Town is a play that shows us how quickly things can change and yet, still leaves us with a hopeful glimpse of the future.

6M/4W/1 either. Doubling possible.
