William Saroyan wrote this gentle masterpiece in 1939.  It’s a one-of-a-kind comedy-drama set in a bar on San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf.  Regulars pass the time at Nick’s Saloon and strangers wander in, seeking refuge from lives wracked by the perils and deprivations of the Great Depression.  Through Nick’s kindness and the efforts of a mysterious wealthy patron named Joe, they find a magical arena in which they can be whoever they please—at least until the outside world intrudes.  Professor Steve Vineberg directs this rarely produced play with costumes designed by Kurt Hultgren and set and lights designed by Professor Barbara Craig.
