THE NIBROC TRILOGY ECHO THEATRE is proud to present the regional premiere of THE NIBROC TRILOGY, an award-winning three-play cycle that follows May and Raleigh from their first meeting in the 1940s, through the second World War and into the Eisenhower era. A tale told with romance, comedy and a grace evocative of its era in American history. LAST TRAIN TO NIBROC The trilogy opens with this charming two character play set in the early 1940s. We follow May Gill and Raleigh Brummett from their first meeting on a train bound for Kentucky through their budding romance. “Nibroc soars. It beguiles. It buries sweet memories in a real gentleman's proffered hankie and restores faith in the values of character and integrity, in the promise of true love.” - Alexandra Bonifield, Lakewood-Now.net SEE ROCK CITY The second play in the series picks up a year later. It's 1944. May and Raleigh's young married life begins under the watchful eyes of their mothers and in the shadow of World War II. This engaging comedy deepens our involvement with this American family. “A charming love story, wonderfully written and performed ... It takes you back to simpler times ... Light and funny” - Matt Gunther, THE COLUMN GULF VIEW DRIVE Welcome to Florida! Ten years have passed,
and May and Raleigh are living a post-war dream of career success
and home ownership. Multi-generational living and the social upheaval
of the 1950s are the backdrop for this moving conclusion to the
Nibroc saga. "Hutton has filled her plays with
juicy novelistic detail, and Echo's staging ... brings it all
to vivid life. All five performers distinguish themselves.
