When McCulley walked onto the old Birmingham Little Theater stage to premiere Carole Cook Died for My Sins, several longtime patrons walked out. He had expected as much. "If there wasn't a risk," he says, "it would be a Hallmark card." What stays in the seats, what Lanier Isom watches him build night after night, is a son's grief for his mother, a devotee's love for an Old Hollywood mentor, and a Southern man's account of surviving himself.
