Performing in the production are the acting talents of Jeffrey Donovan, Emily Bergl, Shirley Knight, Francis Guinan, and Rod McLachlan. The book is adapted by Frank Galati.
As the Great Depression hits, the Joad family treks from the dust bowl of Oklahoma to the fertile fields of California. But the promise of new work quickly turns into a nightmare of human desperation. How, and will, they survive? Driven by the rhythms of the Joel Rafael Band, this acclaimed adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel finds its timeless heart in the generous spirit of the common man.
