The Broken Season
6 pm
Request a reserved seat here.
On the eve of the Civil War, deep in the rugged Blue Ridge Mountains, hundreds of Irish immigrant laborers risk their lives to carve a tunnel through solid granite. In the remote Appalachian camp where they live, death comes easily -- through blasting accidents, rock slides, disease, drink and violence.
But when a young laborer is condemned for murder, a weary priest arrives to hear the man's final confession and deliver last rites. Instead, he uncovers a secret far darker than the crime itself--one capable of shattering the fragile world around them.
