I do believe we got the book from the library a while back. It’ll be interesting to see it portrayed in a play.
Looks like a terrific show – count me in!
I love CATS! I know Jeannie Woods and Lisa Moon from when they did plays years ago at the Studio Theater in Grass Valley. My last visit to CATS was Miss Saigon, which was fabulous!
I’ve known a handful of people who lived through the WWII internment camps; some survived and carry(ied) a lot of pain while
some were young enough to shed that dark period in their lives and thrive with little PTSD sort of issues. Would love to see this drama by CATS!
I love CATS and can’t wait to see this one. Love that our small town is rich in the arts!
CATS never disappoints and this show should be no exception!!
Hearing good things about it already, looks like a great show!
This book was truly heartbreaking. You really get connected to the main characters. I recommend this book to anyone who has a heart fro true love stories.
