For an uplifting story about family, visit the Broken Arrow Community Playhouse this August to see their production of “Sarah, Plain and Tall.” Adapted by Joseph Robinette from Patricia MacLachlan’s Newbery Medal-winning novel, this classic tale comes alive in a poignant, family-friendly production that everyone will enjoy.

Set in the early 1900s, “Sarah, Plain and Tall” follows a widowed Midwestern farmer left to raise his two young children. Desperate for a mother's touch in their home, he places an advertisement in the newspaper for a wife. Narrated through flashbacks, the play explores the bittersweet, often humorous, and deeply touching time when a fragile new family learns to heal, trust and love again.
