Last Train to Nibroc is a beautiful two-person play about a religious and bookish young woman (May) and a recently released young pilot (Raleigh) who share a 1940 cross-county train ride with F. Scott Fitzgerald and Nathanael West, both recently deceased, their bodies in the baggage car. It's a bit of Americana, a character study with charm and innocence that will be staged for one weekend only. 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, 7 p.m. Sunday; $10 online, $15 at the door.
