Our Fall Production – The Legacy of Sarah Jane
Sycamore Tree Theatre is pleased to present The Legacy of Sarah Jane, a new musical from the creative genius of Tom & Denise Diffee and Steve Richards in November, 2026.
The Legacy of Sarah Jane is the true story of one woman’s grit and courage in her determination to forge a new destiny for her family amidst the rough and tumble of a lawless southern town in turn-of-the-century America.
Synopsis
In the year 1907, Caddo Gap, Arkansas was a wild town known principally for gambling, bootlegging, prostitution, and gunfights in the streets. This violent community was the home of two families, the Diffee’s and the Vaughn’s, each trying to raise their eight children in the midst of a corrupt society. The Legacy of Sarah Jane is the true story of these two families and the decisions and consequences that shaped their separate destinies.
Sarah Jane Diffee is a woman with a difficult decision to make…stay or leave. And a decision to leave would pit her against tradition, family, and friends. She receives help and guidance from an unexpected source, but may still lose much, no matter what she chooses to do.
This epic new musical from the pen of Diffee & Richards (Unto the Hills, Katie’s Hope (music by Lorilee Brasseur), and A Light in the Attic) is filled with great sets, great music, great dancing and choreography, a live orchestra, and stirring dialogue concerning some of life’s deepest issues. You’ll experience the joy and pain of family relationships, a rousing southern revival meeting, the collision of world views, and the heartbreak of wrenching decisions made against the backdrop of a lawless southern town at the turn of the 20th century. We also get a touch of Christmas, and a little soap powder, of all things!
Don’t miss The Legacy of Sarah Jane, a Christmas musical from Sycamore Tree Theatre coming in November 2026.
