Performance: Deera's Country Funeral

Ray Sally wants to have a funeral for his tractor. That’s right. His tractor. The old machine has played Santa’s sleigh in many a Christmas Parade, has helped rescue folks during a flood, has served as chariot for the Little Miss Pioneer parade and hard-worked too many harvests to name. But Deera is old and worn out and you can’t find parts anymore and it’s time for her to meet her maker. Or is it Ray Sally himself who is on the short road to the great beyond? Questions of destiny, community and the measure of a life well lived are themes in Ned Dougherty’s play Deera’s Country Funeral, a premise that invites both humor and poignancy.

The Pocahontas County Drama Workshop will present Deera’s Country Funeral a new play by award winning playwright Ned Dougherty at the Pocahontas County Opera House.
