What Our Audience Says
The Circuit Rider’s Wife is a moving and uplifting story of love and faith!
John Bradley
Ocoee Players
I was mesmerized into life at a simpler time. The Circuit Rider’s Wife provides that rare glimpse into rural religion and poignant life lessons through cleverly composed music and weaving tale. I left singing songs in my head and with a wonderful feeling that new beginnings come just when they are needed!
