Adeline’s Play transports us back to the year 1934, where a few inhabitants of the rural factory town of Flanagan, Illinois are producing together their first show.  Adeline has returned to Flanagan from not-quite-a-career in Los Angeles as a failed actress, but her infectious optimism and inspirational desire to tell a wonderful story breathes light into a depression-weary town.  Side by side, the ragtag cast reflects upon and endures the good times, bad times, and the myriad misadventures that lead them to opening night, until an unexpected revelation exposes secrets from the past.
