This romantic comedy tells the story of two rivals: John Tanner (a wealthy, politically-minded intellectual who values his freedom) and Ann Whitefield (a charming, scheming hypocritical young woman who wants Tanner as a husband).

“Fanshen" means, literally, “to turn over”-to fashion a new life. This uniquely constructed play is an authentic and lucid account of how the people of Long Bow village in China came to terms with the communist revolution and created a new world.

Holy Ghosts peers inside the close-knit confines of a small fundamentalist church in deep Appalachia -- a favorite setting for noted late playwright Romulus Linney (Sand Mountain, Gint, Heathen Valley). The action centers on a man named Coleman (accompanied by his charming lawyer) chasing after Nancy, the wife who has deserted him and taken up with preacher Obediah Buckthorn and the Amalgamation Holiness Church of God.

A young man and the girl next door have parents who have built a wall to keep them apart. The youngsters nevertheless contrive to meet and fall in love. Their parents, meanwhile, are congratulating themselves, for they have erected the wall and staged a feud in order to achieve, by negation, a marriage between their willfully disobedient children. Altogether, it’s a rueful and disarming lighter-than-air romantic musical fantasy. As the longest running musical on the American stage, it comes back to ACT’s stage after 12 years by popular demand. You’ll hum, you’ll whistle, you’ll hardly ever get out of your head such songs as “Try to Remember,” “They Were You: and “Soon It’s Gonna Rain”
