Carnegie Players Present "The Homecoming" - Adapted by Christopher Sergel from Earll Hamner, Jr.

 
Known on television as The Waltons, they're called The Spencers in the original book. The time is the Great Depression and the large Spencer family, living at the foot of a Virginia mountain is struggling hard just to survive.  With his father having to take the only available job a long way from home, Clay-Boy is stuck with unusual responsibility for his brothers and sisters.  Just reaching manhood, Clay-Boy has a secret yearning that's quite extraordinary for the practical, earth-bound community in which he lives.  He is worried because his father is already long overdue in getting home.
