The Hurting Part - 4th Story Theater Performance

A new play by Silas House 
Presented by 4th Story Theater
Directed by Kirk McNeill and John McGuire


Set in the small Dayton, Ohio, apartment of Thelma and Simeon Smallwood, December of 1962, we struggle with the values of family and home, love and loyalty. This family story is ours, too. Through it we are reminded of deep detachment and homesickness in our lives when Christmas feels like the reliving of them all over again.

“Nobody talks about the hurting part of Christmas. Sometimes that’s the biggest part of all.”
