The play is directed by Fran Martone and features a cast of Toledo Theatre veterans: Cindy Bilby (Weezy), Carol Ann Erford (Bib), Aimee Reid (June), and Marissa Rex (Alice).
An all-female darkly comic southern drama about women on the verge, art, and the power of human connection.
After a tornado barrels through a North Alabama town leaving nothing but death and destruction, only June and her wisecracking pet goat Weezy live to tell the tale. When Alice, a prominent photographer, arrives to take pictures of June’s scars, every living soul on the farm is tipped to the breaking point in this epic tale of life after death.
