George Mason University's Center for the Arts

TFA returns to theSPACE in downtown Fairfax on November 21 at 8:00pm. With a focus on community, we will continue to celebrate a new presence in Old Town Fairfax as we offer a staged reading of The Rivers and Ravines, written and directed by TFA Co-Artistic Director Heather McDonald, and featuring a cast of professionals, students and members of our community. The cast of 25 actors range in age from 9 to 82.

In 1988, the Washington Post hailed The Rivers and Ravines as the 'Our Town' for the '80's. Set during the farm crisis of the early 1980's, the play celebrates the hope and spirituality of a community facing economic hardship. TFA's revisiting of The Rivers and Ravines is sure to resonate as a modern parable for our time.

The evening will include a pre-show reception and a brief discussion with Ms. McDonald after the reading.

TFA will also collect non-pershable food items at the door to benefit Food For Others of Fairfax.

Tickets are Pay-what-you-can at the door and are available in advance at the Center for the Arts box office.
