Real. Life. Stories. 3.0
$20/ All Tickets
Real. Life. Stories. 3.0 is six, ten-minute plays, about ordinary people navigating engaging and, sometimes, extraordinary circumstances. The plays are seasoned with comedy, pathos, surprise and inspiration.
The themes are universal. The actors are seniors, but their stories apply to all ages. They confront unexpected surprises, precarious social situations, life management, newfound relationships, and even life-and-death battles.
