College of the Mainland Community Theatre Presents SECOND SAMUEL

In sleepy little Second Samuel, Georgia, not much ever changes ... until Miss Gertrude dies, setting off a revelation of the town's not-so-simple secrets. Set in the late 1940s and filled with colorful characters, "Second Samuel" runs at College of the Mainland Community Theatre March 31 to April 17.

In this comedy-drama, Second Samuel residents gather in local hangouts and reminiscence about Miss Gertrude's legacy. What they discover turns the entire town upside down.

Narrated by a mentally challenged man named B Flat, the Pulitzer-winning play is filled with wit, warmth and wisdom.

"It's a story that ultimately focuses on accepting people as they are," said H. Russ Brown, COM head of theatre/artistic director.

Since 1972, COM Community Theatre has presented over 228 productions including children's theatre, concerts and workshops with attendance of more than a quarter of a million people.
