About the production:

A heartfelt and joyful story about two couples reminiscing about their friendship, 33 years in the making, "Middletown" explores the highs, the lows, and everything in between. The initial workshop of "Middletown" received a Carbonell nomination for best new work in 2017 and was originally presented at the Jan McArt Reading Series and West Boca Theatre Company.

“I wanted to tell a relatable ‘every-person’s’ story in a direct and straightforward manner where human emotions are front and center – without bells, whistles, special effects, or props,” said writer Dan Clancy. “I wanted the words to speak for themselves.”

The production is directed by Tony Award-winning Seth Greenleaf. “Dan Clancy’s work here is exceptional and in the hands of these great players. I believe audiences are going to have a powerful experience they won’t soon forget," Greenleaf said.
