Jack Nickolay of Hovland has the role of Matt Friedman in the two-person cast of Talley’s Folly by American playwright Lanford Wilson. The Pulitzer Prize-winning romantic comedy will be presented by the theatre department of Northwestern College, Orange City, Iowa, Nov. 10–12 and 17–19.
Talley’s Folly is set in Missouri in the summer of 1944. The play is the story of Matt, a Jewish-American accountant who has fallen in love with Sally Talley, a Sunday school teacher on the verge of spinsterhood. After a year of daily letters, Matt surprises Sally in her family’s run-down Victorian boathouse. Hoping not to be discovered by the sheriff or Sally’s racist brother, Matt and Sally try to uncover the truth about the other’s feelings.
Nickolay, a sophomore theatre major, is the son of Michelle Miller.
