SUMMARY:Summer Circle Theatre
DESCRIPTION:
 The setting is a well-to-do vacation colony on 
 the shores of Lake Erie, the time 1945, during 
 the final stages of World War II. Charlie, 
 an incipiently rebellious fourteen-year-old, 
 is summering with his mother and sister (his 
 father is fighting in the Pacific) before going 
 off to an expensive boarding school in the 
 fall. Although he intended to spend the summer 
 loafing and socializing with his friends, 
 the need for spending money forces him to take 
 a job as handyman for an iconoclastic, bohemian 
 art teacher, Anna Trumbull, a former member 
 of the "upper crust" who has lost 
 both her fortune and her regard for the ideals 
 of her upbringing. Sensing a kindred spirit 
 in Charlie, she tries to stretch his mind 
 by teaching him painting and sculpture-and 
 exposing him to "radical" ideas about 
 life and love which, in time, persuade Charlie 
 to reject the notion of going back to school. 
 The result is a family crisis and, more 
 specifically, a showdown between Anna and Charlie's 
 conservative mother, a clash of philosophies 
 which raises as many questions as it 
 answers and, in the end, stimulates the self-awareness 
 which will shape the man Charlie is 
 destined to become.\n
