2010 Season

The Book of Esther

August 4 - September 4

WRITER(S): Leanna Brodie

Leanna’s Blyth hit, Schoolhouse, was a runaway audience favorite in 2006. Now she is back with a powerful and moving story of family, faith, and the ties that bind.

The year is 1981, and everything is changing. In the rural community of Baker’s Creek, stoic Seth Dalzell is struggling to hold onto his Century Farm. His devoutly evangelical Christian wife, Anthea, is struggling to keep her family and their faith intact. Meanwhile in the big city, Todd Wishart provides a haven for troubled teens – including the bright and mischievous young hustler known as A.D.

What on earth could these people have in common? Her name is Esther Dalzell; she is fifteen years old; and she has just run away from home.
