Bucyrus Little Theatre is pleased to present
Considered an American classic, Of Mice and Men is a novella written
by Nobel Prize–winning author John Steinbeck and published in 1937.
George and Lennie, two migrant field workers, have just arrived at a
ranch and hope to one day attain their shared dream of settling down
on their own piece of land during the Great Depression. Lennie is a man
of large stature and great strength but limited mental abilities. He has
an obsession with things soft and cuddly that has made George cautious
about who the gentle giant associates with. His promise to allow Lennie
to "tend to the rabbits" on their future land keeps Lennie calm amidst
distractions. But when a tragedy occurs, George knows that Lennie,
albeit accidentally, is involved. Realizing they can't run away anymore,
George is faced with a tough moral question.
Directed by Scott Painter, our final show of the regular season will be
staged on May 8, 9, 15 and 16 at 7:30 p.m. with matinee performances
on May 10 and 17 at 2:30 p.m. This play is recommended for adult
audiences due to strong language and adult themes. Adult guest
tickets are $15 and student guest tickets are $10.
