The City Theatre Company continues its 2011 season with the critically-acclaimed Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck. This classic tale and Nobel Prize-winning novella about two migrant workers’ quest for the American dream portrays the struggle for independence, the responsibility we have to one another, and the desire for a place we all long to call our own.

It's the story of best friends Lennie and George who find themselves unemployed in Depression-era, California, unable to maintain a stable working pattern for long because of Lennie's low mental capacity. They soon get hired at the Tyler Ranch, working under the strict supervision of Curley, the boss's mean-spirited son. But after settling in and making friends, their world is ripped apart by tragedy when Curley's beautiful but unhappy wife becomes the innocent victim of Lennie's compassion.
