Providence Players Opens Steinbeck’s “Of Mice and Men” This Weekend – Through October 18th: Cast, Production Photos, Show and Ticket Information

The Providence Players, performing at The James Lee Community Center Theater at 2855 Annandale Rd in Falls Church, opens their 17th season with Pulitzer Prize winning author John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men. This classic American drama chronicles four days in the lives of depression era migrant workers, George and Lennie.  Unlikely friends, they move from town to town hoping to work and save enough for their own piece of the American dream. On their way, they meet other wanderers, all searching for their version of the dream. Their plans are thwarted by the cruelty of fate and hard times. This unforgettable tale is beautifully and imaginatively staged by the Providence Players and creates a vivid picture of the Great Depression while conveying a tale of friendship, loneliness and unfortunate circumstances for even “the best laid schemes of mice and men.”
