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? Karen Zacarias' witty comedy focuses on books and those who love them––and the quirky dynamics between them. By the end, you’ll feel like you’re a member of the book club yourself!

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