Here’s the press release…
Join the Landmark Players for their heartwarming Christmas Special “The Homecoming,” at 8:00 on December 1, 2, 8 and 9 as they take you back in time to Christmas Eve, 1933, in rural Virginia. “The Homecoming” was written by Earl Hamner, Jr., who became best known for his novel “Spencer’s Mountain,” which was inspired by his own childhood and formed the basis for both the film of the same name and the television series, “The Waltons.” Although known on television as The Waltons, they’re called The Spencers in the original book, which is how they’re named here.
The time is the Great Depression and the large Spencer family is struggling hard just to survive. With their father having to take the only available job a long way from home, the family is worried when their father has not arrived home from work on Christmas Eve during a snowstorm.
The production contains all of your favorite characters from the television series. As it
includes many children, the Landmark Players Youth Theater Project has utilized their camera equipment and made a mini-movie which will be shown within the play that portrays the search for their missing father. Locations for the filming included the Sutton Courthouse, St. Michael’s Church at historic Bulltown Village and Maplewood-at-Sutton. The cast consists of Taylor Armstrong, Cheryle Bailes, Jason Bookheimer, Joe Boyce, Merleen Campbell, Westley Carpenter, Cendall Cowan, Lex DeGruyl, Camma Duchaine, Romeo Duchaine, Rebecca Maher, Briar Martin, Mike Morris, Mary Plymale, Jim Raywalt, Nathan Rexroad, Steve Sanders, Joshua Summers, Adam Tanner and Kathy Walker. Technical Crew consists of Tess Morris, Kyle Allen and Justin Blankenship. The cinematographers are Kevin Carpenter and Tom Allen. Chris Allen
directed the show with help from Mitzi Morris.
