2015 Roe Green Award Winner Rebecca Gilman will be in Cleveland developing Soups, Stews, and Casseroles: 1976.

Big change is coming to the small town where Kim and Kat are raising their teenage daughter. Reynolds, Wisconsin, is known for its pungent limburger cheese and not much else. But that’s all about to change when Monroe’s largest employer is bought out by a national corporation and Kat befriends the new boss’s cosmopolitan wife. While their neighbors prepare to strike, Kat and Kim climb the social and corporate ladder…but at what cost? Flavored with plenty of laughs and small town charm, Soups, Stews, and Casseroles: 1976 is an absorbing, poignant story of community and the changing times.
