Performed by nationally acclaimed North Carolina author Clyde Edgerton and songwriting partner Mike Craver, (who performed for 12 years with the great Red Clay Ramblers, this production takes the form of a reader's theatre presentation of Clyde Edgerton's latest novel — with unforgettable songs.
"The Bible Salesman" is presented by Clyde Edgerton and Mike Craver with Thalian Hall Center for the Performing Arts, Inc and WHQR 91.3FM Public Radio.

 Henry is a bible salesman. Clearwater is a car thief. Henry needs a ride. Clearwater needs an assistant. The Second World War is over, and nineteen-year-old Henry Dampier walks the roads of North Carolina, selling bibles. When Clearwater offers him a lift, Henry thinks it is a lucky day that only gets better with Clearwater’s “confession” of being an FBI agent in need of aid. Henry joyfully seizes the opportunity to lead a double life as bible salesman and G-man. During his hilarious and scary adventures, we learn of Henry's fundamentalist youth, an upbringing that hasn't prepared him for his new life. He falls in love and questions his religious training. With the fun and games over, Henry is on his own in a way he never imagined.
