The Gin Game
by D.L Colburn
Pulitzer Prize Winner for Drama. A scathingly funny battle of wits played out as Weller Martin and Fonsia Dorsey, two feisty nursing home residents, start a game of gin rummy to combat their loneliness. The game becomes a metaphor for their lives in a play filled with hope and bittersweet disappointment. Poignant and punchy humor. Contains adult language.
“Perfect . . . A vibrant study on loneliness, disillusion, old age and death yet fiercely funny.” -
Boston Globe

Tuesdays with Morrie
by Jeffrey Hatcher and Mitch Albom
Tuesdays with Morrie is the autobiographical story of Mitch Albom, an accomplished journalist driven solely by his career, and Morrie Schwartz, his former college professor. Sixteen years after graduation Mitch happens to catch Morrie’s appearance on a television news program and learns that his old professor is battling Lou Gehrig’s disease. Mitch is reunited with Morrie, and what starts as a simple visit turns into a weekly pilgrimage and a last class in the meaning of life.

Meshuggah-Nuns: the Ecumenical Nunsense
By Dan Goggin
In this new Nunsense adventure we find the Sisters on an all-expense paid trip on the “Faiths of All Nations” Cruise. After a time at sea, the ship runs into a terrible storm that lasts nearly a week. Many people become seasick including the entertainers—the cast of Fiddler on the Roof. All except the actor playing Tevye, that is. The ship’s captain, knowing of the Sisters’ show-business savvy, requests that the Sisters and Tevye put on an original revue. The result: “Meshuggah-Nuns!”
