After two previous sold-out productions, Can’t Feel at Home returns to Court Square Theater Aug. 31-Sept. 10.

Performances are Thursday-Saturday at 7:30 p.m.; with matinee showings at 3 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays, Sept. 2-3 and Sept. 9-10.

Can’t Feel at Home tells the story of families displaced from their homes in the 1930s to create Shenandoah National Park and the Skyline Drive. Using oral histories and court documents, the late Dr. John T. Glick wrote the original script which was later adapted for the stage and directed by Stanley W. Swartz.

The first performances occurred last December when Court Square Theater sold out every show. A January 2023 remount also sold out prompting organizers to bring the popular musical back this fall.
