PLOT:
Jeff Masters, a young man in his 30's, arrives in a small New England town and plies his trade as a carpenter. Though there is no mystery about his arrival, or his past (except that people are not in the habit of coming to small towns for no reason at all) the townspeople immediately start speculation. Jeff becomes a boarder in the home of Simon Farris and his wife, Martha. Then follows an almost incredible series of incidents in which Jeff is the prime mover. He becomes, in fact, a modern disciple of the Carpenter of an earlier day, straightening the tangled lives of many a neighbor, doing good in a practical sense and finally almost sacrificing his own life in a vain attempt to rescue a town "unfortunate."

ROLES STILL AVAILABLE:
LIZA - About12, small, slight, cheerful and imaginative, but repressed by her mothers' personality.
MAME WINTERS - About 28, a young mother of an 8 year old son. Her voice is soft and her motions leisurely; gentle and thoughtful of others.
Peter Stone - About 30, sturdy, stocky; very dependable. Not well educated but has a keen intellectual curiosity. His manner seems at times aloof and almost hostile.
(NOTE: Children auditioning must have previous acting experience or training.)
JIMMY ZEBROSKI - around age 12 or so - Along with his brother, Johnny, is what a poor home and drunken father and a hostile town have made them: a pair of rough, dirty hoodlums.
