Come Back to the Five and Dime Jimmy Dean

In a small-town dime store in West Texas, the Disciples of James Dean gather for their twentieth reunion. Now middle-aged women, they were teenagers when Dean filmed “Giant” two decades ago in nearby Marfa. One of them, an extra in the film, has a child whom she says was conceived by Dean on the set; the child is the Jimmy Dean of the title. The ladies’ reminiscences mingle with flash-backs to their youth; then the arrival of a stunning and momentarily unrecognized woman sets off a series of confrontations that upset their self-deceptions and expose their well-hidden disappointments.

March 31 and April 1, 2, 8, and 9 at 8 p.m.; April 3 and 10 at 2 p.m. – Fisher Theater, Ames
