"Cruelty To Animals"

In the spring of 2000, this Reader's Theatre adaptation of Rebecca Wells' short story was presented both at the University of North Texas and at the Southern States Communication Association Convention in New Orleans.

"Cruelty to Animals," by the author of The Ya-ya Sisterhood, serves up a comically tragic slice of Southern culture. Our adaptation strives to examine through performance this narrative's juxtaposition of the innocence and joy of childhood
reveries with the pain and guilt of adult memories.
