The Book Club Play by Karen Zacarías is a comedy about a group of friends whose book club is chosen to be the subject of a documentary. Having what you say “off the cuff” during a book club discussion brings hilarious and chaotic revelations. As they continue their recorded meetings intimate discussions are captured on film, secrets are exposed, and group dynamics are upended by a new member. The play explores themes of literature, friendship, and self-discovery through witty dialogue and references to popular books.

Play readings are free, but donations (suggested: $5) are gratefully accepted! We will have popcorn, coffee and soda available for purchase as well.

For a Greener Democracy by Paul Daniel Gallant
English translation of a revised version of the French work. First ever reading of this show in the United States

Imagine a society where something as simple as the color of a person’s sneakers determines whether they are accepted or rejected. In this world, wearing red sneakers is considered normal, while wearing green sneakers leads to exclusion, prejudice, and discrimination.

Through a series of short scenes set in everyday places—a gym, a restaurant, a family dinner, a church, and a movie theater—the play explores how bias can affect friendships, relationships, families, faith, and daily life. Although the story centers on “green sneakers,” they are a symbol for anyone who has ever been judged or treated differently because of who they are.
