 THE PLAY: On Trout Mosley’s (Jackson Champion) 16th birthday, his father, Rev. Joe Pike Moseley (Greg Dixon), bolts from the Easter Sunday service, jumps on his motorcycle and rides off to Texas.  Trout’s mother Irene has been hospitalized for severe depression. Joe Pike, to save his ministry, is assigned to his hometown of Moseley, GA. The town had been founded by his family years ago; it is a place he has been trying to escape for most of his life.  Trout, of course, must follow and thus begins an eventful summer for him. He finds refuge and a new friend Keats Dubarry (Maddie Spurling) when he takes a summer job at the Dairy Queen. The KMLT cast includes: Teresa Williams as Trout’s Aunt Alma, Tom Bennett as Alma’s husband Cicero, Carol Berger as choir director Grace Vredemeyer, and Jim Champion as DQ owner Herschel Bender.
 KMLT is sponsored in part by a Grassroots Grant from the North Carolina Arts Council, and is a funded affiliate of the Cleveland County Arts Council.
