(FRIDAYS & SATURDAYS at 8 pm; WEDNESDAY & THURSDAY at 7:30 pm; SUNDAY matinees at 2:30 pm)

Set in a small Texas town in anytime, U.S.A., Daddy’s Dyin’ concerns the reunion of a family gathered to await the imminent death of their patriarch, who has recently suffered a physically as well as mentally disabling stroke. In essence, however, it is not the story of the impending demise of the father or of the drafting of his will, but of a rebirth of the spirit of the family unit.

The story shares many elements of a good summer novel: fast, delicious, easy viewing with funny moments, tense moments, touching moments, and characters you care about.-The Hollywood Reporter

The Los Angeles 1987 premiere of Daddy’s Dyin’, Who’s Got the Will? played for two years to turn-away crowds and was subsequently made into a film starring Beau Bridges and Beverly D’Angelo.


The Civic Player’s eight-character cast features Cara Juras (as Sara Lee Turnover), Amy LaMena (as Lurlene Turnover Rogers), Joan Justice (Mama Wheelis), Nicolle Galligan (Evalita Turnover), Michael Silvia (Harmony Rhodes), Richard Cross (Buford Turnover), Shane Rowe (Orville Turnover), and Katherine Stephens (as Marlene Turnover).


Tickets, $17. Order in person at, or by phone through, Proctors box office 346-6204. Order tickets on-line at www.civicplayers.org Or call the Playhouse 382-2081.
