About the Play
Who could resist hearing one of Austin’s favorite artists, Karen Kuykendall
as she presents selected stories from the personal essays of local
author Frances Nail? Like thumbing through a well-kept scrapbook,
these stories show us with humor and wisdom the characters, scenes,
and memorabilia that have shaped this one woman’s life. But when looking
into the character’s unique story, it doesn’t take long to recognize
bits and pieces that are also your own experiences. The people and
places in Nail’s personal stories open a window into a by-gone way
of life that will be recognized by many Texans. These tales offer
a knowing view of the down home and the down-home view of the unknowable.
Come along for an evening of great storytelling performance as the
author sorts through her material in preparation for a radio appearance.
Pollyanna Theatre: Where creativity thrives, artists find a home,
and no patron is turned away because of an inability to pay.
