NICEVILLE — "Littlefield," a satire by playwright Don Goodrum, head of South Walton High School’s drama department, premieres soon.
Performances are set for 7:30 p.m. Oct. 12-15 in the Sprint Theater of the Mattie Kelly Arts Center in Niceville.
"Littlefield" tells the story of a small, north Mississippi town at the beginning of the 21st century as seen through the eyes of Polly Littlefield, 17.
As Polly’s story unfolds, along with her dreams of attending an Ivy League school and leaving her rural background behind, the dreams of other townspeople are introduced.
The drama unfolds in the town's diner, Main Street and the Kudzu Falls Rest and Retirement Villa, to reveal a slice of life in the small town that's not always as it first appears — but is ultimately true to heart.
The play features a cast of 15 Northwest Florida State College student and veteran community actors. Wesley Barlow of Crestview plays Holden, Polly’s boyfriend, and the town football star.
NWFSC theater professor, scenic designer and author Clint Mahle will direct the play.
Tickets for all four nights of the play are now available by phone, web or in person from the Mattie Kelly Arts Center Box Office at 729-6000 or at www.MattieKellyArtsCenter.org. They cost $15 for adults and $10 for youths. NWFSC students with their I.D. are admitted free of charge.
