Synopsis
Complete with a bum, a town cop and a local brat, this show unfolds in the park of Maple Springs, Missouri, around 1900. Painter Alison longs to take her career to the big city.

Customer Reviews
The play is an excellent portrayal of the character development of two people who fall in "love" and two people who fall in "like."
Hopes and Words and Ordinary Things is a surprise gem. This unassuming play has all the charm of an old-fashioned picnic in the park. A delightful little comedy that leaves you feeling good all over.
Hints, Tips, and Tricks
Need a strong cast for this.
Work hard on the chemistry between Eric and Alison. Spend time in the park scene when these two and Roger and Emily are together.
