Apr 2-20
NC Stage Company
A small town librarians sheltered life is changed forever when the library receives a returned book 134 years overdue. A note scribbled in the margin and an unclaimed dry-cleaning ticket spur him to break the daily habits of his life and solve a mystery that spans continents and centuries. Underneath the Lintel (thats the doorway, not the legume) is the funny and moving story of one man’s stubborn search for an answer, and what happens when the answers are all questions.
