Mahida's Extra Key To Heaven by Russell Davis

Thomas, a young painter, is visiting Edna, his comfortably conservative and opinionated mother in a small ocean town on an island near the Canadian border. Out walking, he discovers Mahida, an Iranian exchange student who has missed the last ferry back to the mainland. Mahida's brother, Ramin, an Islamic fundamentalist, seems to have left her after she refused to come back to Iran with him after the death of their father, but she can't be sure. She reluctantly agrees to stay at Edna's house for the night. When Ramin shows up for her the next day, two extreme worlds collide thousands of miles from the center of the perceived conflict.

Book Clubs at Playwrights Theatre

Playwrights Theatre will continue its successful book club project. Instead of reading a book, book club members read the play (script provided by Playwrights Theatre). They then see the production and stay after the performance for a post-show discussion with the Artistic Director.

Ladies Night at Playwrights Theatre will be on Thursday, April 29. Beginning at 5:00pm in the lobby of Playwrights Theatre, ladies will be able to mingle among the tables of women owned/women run businesses for various products and services. Participating businesses include: Bella Luna Gourmet Catering, Ethnic Beaded Jewelry Design, Inner Designs, Luger Land Arts, Young Living Essential Oils and Via Veneto Salon.
