Ray tells me that his play "The Autumn People" is opening on September 30th through the month of October at the Fremont Centre Theatre in South Pasadena.

philnicDoug, do you know whether this is a new play?
(And, apart from Ray Bradbury, why do Americans not normally use the word 'Autumn' for 'Fall'?)

Braling IIPhil,
The Autumn/Fall choice may be regional. I recall hearing/saying both in the Pacific Northwest, but in California, it's usually "Fall".
Like.
Y'know?
Now, for an ADJECTIVE, what choice would we have but "Autumnal"?
"Fall-like"?
And then ther's that great old standard, "Autumn Leaves", which I played only last Saturday! "Autumn In New York" is another great one.

No, this play has been around on and off for quite a while.
Many Yankees do. It's about half and half.
Autumn is a prettier word than Fall, although Fall is nice too.
