Jane Martin won the 1982 American Theatre Critics Association Award for Best Regional Play with the dramatic comedy, Talking With… This collection of extraordinary monologues will be our first production of 2025. Prepared to be amused, moved and frightened by its characters who always speak from the depths of their souls.
OPEN AUDTIONS
