I was mesmerized into life at a simpler time. “Circuit Rider’s Wife” provides that rare
glimpse into rural religion and poignant life lessons through cleverly composed music
and a weaving tale. I left the theatre singing songs in my head and with a wonderful feeling
that new beginnings come just when they are needed. For anyone who appreciates good
music and a nostalgic story, This show is a must see.
