Attic Productions’ new production has strong ties to Fincastle. “Dear Nannie” is a historical drama inspired by the 2013 book “Dear Nannie… yours devotedly, Charlie” by Gail McMillan and Jean Robbins, and adapted for stage by Sally Miller of Attic Productions.
The story follows a young Fincastle couple throughout their lives until his death. They endure happiness and hardships; separation by work and war, the loss of a child, and ultimately, a scandal which separates them forever. Spanning the period directly before, during, and after the Civil War, this play is based on the real lives of Fincastle residents.
This show will be presented at Attic’s D. Geraldine Lawson Performing Arts Center, 7490 Roanoke Road, Fincastle, on April 14-16 and 21-23. Mandy Masching directs this large group of local actors, aided by Steven Aaron, assistant director, and Katie Bjorkland, stage manager. Show times on Fridays are 7:30 p.m., Saturdays at 2:30 and 7:30, and Sundays at 2:30.
This show is being produced in partnership with the Botetourt County Historical Society and Museum, and all tickets are $20 when paid in cash or by check at the box office. A $2 convenience fee per ticket will be added if paying with a card.
