The Book Club Play
February 2-11, 2024
Friendship, Books, and the Absolute Terror of Group Dynamics!
“Like Lord of the Flies with Wine and Dip” - Playwright Karen Zacarías
Laughter and literature collide in this smash hit comedy about books and the people who love them. When a cherished book group becomes the focus of a documentary film, their intimate discussions about life and literature take a turn for the hilarious in front of the inescapable camera lens. Sprinkled with fun theatrical references and novels ranging from “Moby Dick” and “Age of Innocence” to “Twilight” and “The Da Vinci Code,” this buoyant comedy on contemporary culture will have everyone laughing.
The Book Club Play is a delightful new play about life, love, and the side-splitting results that come when friends start reading between the lines…
