The Book Club Play
September 18- 30, 2018
By Karen Zacarías
Directed by James Ijames
Produced by special arrangement with THE DRAMATIC PUBLISHING COMPANY of Woodstock, Illinois
Bookworms unite! Join Ana’s book club, a letter-perfect world for lovers of literature. This smart hit comedy about books and the people who love them takes a turn for the hilarious as Ana’s beloved club is infiltrated by a documentary film crew. Add a provocative new member and some startling titles, and these six friends are bound for bedlam. Ana’s literary haven quickly transforms into “Lord of the Flies with wine and dip” in this side-splitting celebration of bibliophiles everywhere.
