About the event

Join us for monthly "Play Dates" where volunteers from the group read aloud a curated play in a comfortable, low-stakes environment that allows for self-expression and creativity. With fun post-play conversation, with thoughtful prompts that lead to interesting discussions.


“Trouble ensues with the arrival of John, Rich’s uncle and a fellow commercial sailor whose wife, Carla, is succumbing to cancer. John, a reprobate more devoted to his dying spouse than his philandering would suggest, is also intent on getting through to Rich. The men tangle over how best to express their feelings — for women and for each other. Eventually, the deceased Carla rises to dance while Otis Redding’s “Try a Little Tenderness” hints at the bond between her and John. The emotions that John experiences, as witnessed by Rich, overcome the philosophical differences between the men and bring them together.”


We hope to see you there!
