Dedication or the Stuff of Dreams
Four-time Tony Award?winning author Terrence McNally returns with a powerful new play about how far one will go for one?s love of the theater. In a small upstate New York town, Lou, a speech and drama teacher, and Jessie, a dog groomer at The Dapper Dog, bring joy to their community through running an amateur theater company. They become obsessed with buying a derelict movie theater and turning it into Captain Lou and Miss Jessie?s Magic Theater for Children of All Ages. The only obstacle in reaching their dream is Annabelle Willard ? a terminally ill and manipulative widow who owns half the town. Will these naive dreamers be able to grasp the brass ring, and at what cost? more

McNally's best play in years
McNally's best play since Perfect Ganesh. Unlike many of his plays, it avoids cheap laughs and gay "soap opera" plots. It's a very moving comedy-drama with a beautifully authentic feel-good ending.
