The cast of Sarah Plain and Tall

ICCT - The Iowa City Community Theatre's next show will be Sarah, Plain & Tall by Joseph Robinette (from the Newbery Award-winning book by Patricia MacLachlan). It is the story of a widowed Kansas farmer who places an ad in the newspaper because he needs a wife and a mother for his two children, Anna and Caleb. Sarah responds to the ad agreeing to visit the family for a month. The play presents that month as a flashback as an adult Anna remembers how Sarah's visit changed their lives forever. You may remember the 1991 TV movie that starred Glenn Close and Christopher Walken. For more information, go here.
