Pell City Players in "Crimes of the Heart" Dinner Theatre

The scene is Hazelhurst, Mississippi, where the three Magrath sisters have gathered to await news of the family patriarch, their grandfather, who is living out his last hours in the local hospital. Lenny, the oldest sister, unmarried at thirty with no martial prospects in sight. Meg, the middle sister who is back after a failed singing career on the West Coast. Babe, the youngest of the three, is out on bail after having shot her husband in the stomach. Their troubles, grave and yet, hilarious , are highlighted by their priggish cousin, Chick, and by the awkward young lawyer who tries to keep Babe out of jail while helpless not to fall in love with her. In the end the play is the story of how its young characters escape the past to seize the future.
