The principal characters, George and Lennie, are an unlikely pair of itinerants, seeking farm work wherever they can find it and sometimes daring to dream of a better, independent life. Other characters are the men and one woman who are attached to one of their stops, where the work is hard and their dream is jeopardized by the passions and jealousies of those they encounter, and by their own flaws.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Although there will be a few rehearsals before the holidays, most will be after the middle of January, generally 7 to 10pm and seldom on weekends.
