Description

November brings a weekend performance of the original short plays: CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE HUMAN KIND.  Humans have never been so human as in this collection of five comedic and/or bittersweet short plays by local playwright Bob Gabrielli. A door-to-door encounter goes off the rails in one neighborhood exchange. Sparks fly for two lonely hearts at the local blood bank while a wife and husband engage in an annual review of their marriage. Meanwhile, an aging tennis player forges an unexpected connection with a ball girl while it’s a Darwinian survival of the fittest for the volunteers at a local food bank. An evening of humans being humans: How could it not be entertaining?  This show enjoys three performances November 8, 9 @ 7:30 and a Sunday Matinee on November 10 @ 2 PM.
