GREENSBURG, Kan. (AP) Some Greensburg residents will mark the fifth anniversary of a tornado that nearly wiped out their town with a play based on the experience.
The play, called “Rooted: The Greensburg Odyssey,” is the creation of author Marcia Cebulska of Topeka. It is sponsored by The Cornerstone Theater Company and the William Inge Center for the Arts in Independence.
A cast of 22 will present the play at 7 p.m. Saturday in the fellowship hall of First United Methodist Church in Greensburg.
Producer Lois Lessman told The Dodge City Daily Globe the group wanted to perform the play when Greensburg’s Twilight Theater was completed. But the group decided to go ahead with a dramatic reading of the play to mark the anniversary, even though the theater is not ready.
