Turns out there were many men -- and women, too -- who lived in the "No Man's Land" of far northwestern Oklahoma during the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression. Now a new play, Panhandle, focuses on the trials and tribulations of a cotton farming community trying to survive a period of unprecedented economic and natural calamity. Written by Emmy-winning screenwriter and playwright Walter Halsey Davis, Panhandle chronicles the drama, wry humor and moving music of a people that insisted on thriving, despite incredible odds and unforgiving terrain. Michael Cohen directs this powerful play with music for the Actors Ensemble of Berkeley.
