The story centers around the conflicts that Thoreau has with Ralph Waldo Emerson CCarlos Bonazzaj, Deacon Ball fTim Meeksj and his mother CMarty Blevinsb.

Throughout the play, Thoreau returns to his cell, and leaves a lit- tle of his knowledge behind with his cellmate Bailey CAI Eellsj. The lay was directed by Ms. Mary ce and assistant directed by Anna Withey. Ms. Price com- mented that The cast did an excellent show. It was smooth, pol- ished and very professional.
