BFT Presents TOBACCO ROAD 9/10 Thru 9/26

Birmingham Festival Theatre presents TOBACCO ROAD by Jack Kirkland as part of its 2009-2010 season. TOBACCO ROAD runs September 10 to September 26, 2009.

This gripping classic will delight and astound you with its humorous and biting look at the lives of sharecropper Jeeter Lester and his family, trapped by poverty in rural Georgia as their living standards steadily decline. This powerful drama, adapted from the controversial novel by Erskine Caldwell, invites us to laugh at our shortcomings.

For only $99 for season tickets, you get 7 tickets to use as you please during the season, plus bonuses, including referential seating throughout the season, advance notice of our upcoming productions in a letter from the director of each show, an invitation to events not open to the general public, and a special permit to park your vehicle behind the courtyard or right across the street when you come to see a performance. It's the best parking in Five Points!

Do a good deed. Ensure that BFT is able to keep producing the theatre you love for both your own enjoyment and that of the rest of the Birmingham's arts community. Like most Arts organizations, BFT depends on the generosity of our community to bring you the quality theatre you expect. BFT receives only approximately 70% of our operating budget from ticket sales. Your support is vital. Make a gift to BFT at one of our suggested giving levels and we will publish your name in every program for the whole season. BFT's 501(c)(3) status means your contribution is 100% tax-deductible.
