Annie Nations, an indomitable Appalachian widow of 79, lives on her mountain farm with the acerbic ghost of her husband Hector. Her tranquility is threatened by a brash real estate developer who wants to turn her land into a vacation resort and by concern over her son Dillard, a country singer who has come home with two stranded children because his wife has run away. Annie’s battle to decide her future takes her through some funny, touching and magical flashbacks to her life with Hector. Played on Broadway by Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy, this couple offers a staunchly affirmative tribute to country folk. Dillard, still singing the music which used to infuriate his father, has an exuberant scene in which the audience becomes his public at a fairground concert. Can Dillard woo his mother away from the recalcitrant ghost? Will development swallow up the family farm? Only Annie can decide.

Seven Keys to Baldplate is a comedy/mystery/farce that will have you laughing and guessing until the final moment. Billy Magee, a writer of popular fiction, makes a wager that he can write a novel about Baldpate Mountain within twenty-four hours. In order to win this wager he goes to Baldpate Inn, the most lonesome spot on earth, to get away from melodrama. Instead of seclusion, crooks, murderers, ghosts, pistol shots, policemen, and dead people walking about the halls interrupt him. Directed by Zach Schlag. February 12–28. Presented by the Tred Avon Players at the Oxford Community Center, Oxford.
