After The Wake

The wit of playwright Shirley Beth Newbery coupled with the steady hand of director Laurie Rae Waugh will make even the saddest occasion a joy in After the Wake. Tears turned to screams quite quickly at the reading of Katherine’s mothers will. Seems her mother left everything to … her boyfriend! Each mourner brings a new batch of secrets to this solemn occasion. Waugh, an expert at directing intimate family-oriented plays – has brought together an ensemble of artists including Janel Koloski, Brytanie Holbrook Talty, Amy Losi, Michael Bordwell, Ken Coughlin, and Adam Pine.

Here’s another secret to be divulged: Ms. Waugh will be donating $1 to Habitat for Humanity for everyone who comes to the show.
