The Dyersburg State Community College Theatre Department announces the cast and crew of its upcoming production of the Pulitzer Prize winning play All the Way Home by Tad Mosel.

The play is based on the Pulitzer Prize winning novel, A Death in the Family by Tennessee native James Agee. It is set in 1915 in and around Knoxville and centers on the Follet family, particularly the family of Jay and Mary and their young son, Rufus. It tells the story of the simple moments they share, before introducing the audience to their extended families--Jay’s, who are a rather backward lot, and Mary’s, who are a bit more refined. Tragedy strikes and a member of the family suddenly dies. The plot focuses on how they take the news, and what their future will hold.

On Thursday, September 27, Shiloh National Military Park will host a screening of the new documentary about America’s veterans entitled “V-Day 11.11.11”.
