"The Woolgatherer, a quirky love story, will be presented Feb. 6, 7 and 8 in CWU's Hertz Auditorium.

Set in a small apartment in South Philadelphia in 1979, the story follows the unlikely romance of Rose, a nervous and flighty woman who works the candy counter at the local five-and-dime, and Cliff, a foul-mouthed truck driver looking for a one night stand while his broken rig is being repaired. Both characters find much more than expected when they begin to open up and share the fears that have left them unable to find the human connection they so desperately seek.
