*Sisters Forever *
Written by Kelly Boyer Sagert

Three sisters - Doris, Eleanor and Virginia Burrell - reach a crisis point
at the funeral of their mother, Tempe, causing them to reflect back on the
joys, sorrows, hopes and challenges of the past two decades. *Sisters
Forever: The Burrell Family Letters* shares the exuberant flapper era of
the 20's; the despair of the Great Depression; and the patriotism of the
World War II years, all from the perspective of the Burrells, one of the
founding families of Sheffield, Ohio. This is the world premier of the this
commissioned play.
All performances and rehearsals take place at TrueNorth Cultural Arts in
the French Creek Nature & Arts Center, 4530 Colorado Ave., Sheffield
