Running until October 21st at the Westchester Playhouse in South Bay, this show is a story of love, forgiveness, and redemption centered on a lonely grape rancher who brings a mail order bride to Napa under false pretenses. Problems arise immediately and almost end what could be a last chance for both. This revival by the Kentwood Players features Frank Loesser’s stunning music and libretto.
