Tickets for each show are $17 per person. Due to limited seating, reservations are strongly recommended and can be done at The Bard's Town website.
The science-fiction play Man From Earth focuses on a professor, John Oldman, who suddenly retires. When questioned by his surprised former colleagues, John states he cannot stay in one place for a long period of time. Otherwise, people will figure out his secret of immortality.
The other professors attempt to find holes in John's story, but they soon realize they cannot decide one way or the other if John is telling the truth.
Jerome Bixby created the Man From Earth screenplay, which Richard Schenkman adapted for stage productions. Craig Nolan Highley directed the production for Wayward Actors Company.
The cast features Highley, Tim Kitchen, Julie Anderson, Scotty Anderson, Ron Dawson, Holly Ford, Jeremy Gutierrez, Magdalen Hartman, Darren McGee, Hy Stein, Janice Walter, and Richard Williams.
