The Book Club Play

Join us in person at The Clarice! Please note that this performance will not be livestreamed.

Literature and laughter take center stage! What happens when the devout members of a book club become the focus of a documentary film?

“Lots of laughs, a few profundities and plot twists and a happy resolution.”
