Produced through Special Arrangements with and Permission Granted by The Truman Capote Literary Trust, Center Stage will bring to life the bittersweet, heartwarming and thought-provoking prose written by one of the 20th Century’s greatest and most celebrated American writers, Truman Capote. Set during The Great Depression of the early 1930s, the 3 tales are based largely upon Capote’s youth in rural Alabama and focus on young Buddy and his lovingly eccentric cousin, Sook. Together, through these two Christmases, Buddy and Sook learn much about honesty, love, loss and life's gifts.
In One Christmas, young Buddy spends the holiday away from his Alabama family and in New Orleans with his rarely seen father. A Christmas Memory is Capote’s love letter to his elderly cousin, Sook, who raised him and taught him much about kindness, sharing and forever.
