Winning hands down - LaGrange Daily News
A full-sized, 1992 Nissan pickup truck, around which the show is centered, had to be towed in and maneuvered onto the stage of the LSPA Black Box Theater on Bull Street. The play, based on a true story about a struggling Nissan dealership in Texas, takes viewers through two and a half hours and two acts as 10 people vie to win the truck in a contest. There aren’t many rules – just that the contestants have to keep their hand on the truck at all times and the last person standing wins the truck. “The characters come from all socio-economic backgrounds and they’re all desperate to win the truck for one reason or another,” Longshore-Sargent said. “Winning the truck will change their life. One of the show’s actors, 50-year-old John Rains of Harris County, said he’s enjoyed the wide variety of characters in the show – but also interacting with members of the community by acting in the play. “I’ve really enjoyed spending time with my family and getting to play the different parts, and seeing how they interact with other people in the community,” he said. Most of the people in the play are from LaGrange or Harris County, and it’s nice to get outside your bubble. Source: lagrangenews.com
