Developed thru the Kennedy Center’s New Visions New Voices play development program, playwright John Urquhart unravels the mystery of a small town in crisis. Leanora Sutter, Esther Hirsh, Sara Chickering, Merlin Van Tornhout, Johnny Reeves ... These are the names of a few of the unforgettable characters inhabiting Revelation Falls; a small Vermont town in 1924 -- a community that finds itself torn apart as the Ku Klux Klan infiltrates the collective conscience of this rural northern community. What happens when a shadowy figure shoots a rifle through the keyhole of Sara's door? Did someone put rat poison in the Sutter’s well? Who would commit such evil acts? Is it too late to reunite this once tight-knit community?
