The action of the Ed Graczyk play takes place on
Sept. 30, 1975, at the Five & Dime in the small town of
McCarthy, Texas. On this date, the members of the "Disciples of
James Dean" gather to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the night
in which James Dean died in an auto accident.
Through scenes
in flashback, the characters relive the events of that fateful night
in 1955 when the idol of their youth crashed his Porsche on a lonely
stretch of California highway.
During the course of the
evening, they each experience painful memories, revealing to
themselves and to the group a secret pain and a secret strength
hidden inside themselves.
The cast of "Come Back to the Five
& Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean" includes Martha Peladeau, Karen
Robinson, Sarah Martin, Clare Blackmer, Lindsey Sturgeon, Gabe Dye,
Tri Read, Kami Crary and Karen Valcourt.
The production is

Petisca and lighting by Ron Robinson.
