TODAY to May 23

Bermuda Musical & Dramatic Society Play 'Missing Celia Rose', by Ian August and directed by Terry Tweed. The play is set in 1921, Georgia. The small town of Harlan was established 50 years before on the heels of the Reconstruction era. Pulling together all they had, former white slave owners and newly freed slaves set aside their prejudices and their pasts to create a new community – one where race is the least of their problems. On a bleak autumn evening, a young white boy named Geoffrey Pitts discovers that the beloved wife of the Minister, Mrs. Celia Rose Richards, has stolen the only car in town and vanished without a trace. No one knows any specifics concerning this mysterious flight. With the aid of his friend and confidante, Taffy Prull, Geoffrey decides to find Celia Rose. In doing so, Geoffrey uncovers secrets of the town that will change Harlan forever. 'Missing Celia Rose' runs until May 23 with no Sunday performances. Tickets, $30, are available at the Daylesford box office an hour before the 8 p.m. curtain time or online at www.express.bm
