Ticket Information
A genuine classic of the American stage, Of Mice and Men is the moving character study of two Depression-era drifters whose hardscrabble lives are buoyed by dreams of buying a ranch together. Simple-minded Lennie is a powerfully-built "gentle giant" and George is his steadfast protector. Steinbeck's tragic and timeless masterpiece is a potent affirmation of human love and loyalty.

Time: The Great Depression
| Scene I: Set in the Great Depression and from the sandy banks of the Salinas River we meet George and Lennie, the main characters of the show. Lennie is a gentle giant of a man who is kind but slow. George, Lennie's guardian, dreams of a better time for the both of them. |
| Scene II: Having spent the night under the stars, our characters arrive at a farm work camp for transients. Candy, the bunkhouse crumb bum, greets them before the farm foreman send them off to the fields for the afternoon work detail. |
| Scene III: Later that evening, in the bunkhouse, we meet the farmhands who are all amazed by the work Lennie can do alone. With most of the workers playing horseshoes, Lennie and the boss' son get into a fight. |
| Scene IV Set in the stable where the stable hand lives, Candy and Lennie disappoint George by giving away their secret plans. Meanwhile George and the boss' daughter-in-law get in hot water with the boss. |
