The Few
by Samuel D. Hunter Running Time: 90 minutes Studio Theatre Directed by C. Michael Wright Featuring Mitch Bultman, Mary MacDonald Kerr and James Ridge It's 1999; uncertainty and instability are in the air. Four years earlier, Bryan had abandoned his labor of love, a newspaper for truckers. Now he's returned to small-town Idaho - with no word of where he's been - and things have changed. His former lover is filled with rage, his new coworker is filled with incessant adoration, and his paper is filled with personal ads. From Samuel D. Hunter, award winning-author and recent recipient of the MacArthur Foundation "Genius" Grant, comes this compassionate, gently-hued drama about lonely lives desperately searching for a renewed faith in humanity.

Drawn from both the folk tradition and the work of contemporary songwriters, many of these songs tell of the timeless joys and sorrows of human experience. With concertina and banjo, John Roberts sings the traditional folksongs of his native Britain and Debra Cowen’s captivating warm alto carries each folk song she chooses with such emotion that you’ll forget that they were written by others.
