WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Some people need continuous change in order to feel vital and alive. Others are terrified of unsettling the peace that they have established. That's the basis of the new play Southern Comforts, by Kathleen Clark, which was a finalist for the prestigious Susan Smith Blackburn Prize for Playwriting. Penny Fuller and Larry Keith star in this tour-de-force journey of a widow and widower who meet later in life and find a way into each other's hearts. The play is a beautiful exploration of the intimate workings of all relationships. Judith Ivey directs.
Additionally, there are Sunday matinees scheduled for October 1, 8, 15 & 22 at 3PM, and a Wednesday matinee on October 25 at 2PM.

Fortunately, this tale of late-blooming love tiptoes through a minefield of clichés and avoids them with a combination of lovingly detailed writing by Clark, elegant staging by director Judith Ivey, and wonderfully lived-in performances by Fuller and Keith. Written with humor and a certain amount of honest sentimentality, Southern Comforts is a satisfying and oftentimes funny s[...]
