“A meditation on birth and death and the lives burning bright in between.” -The Boston Globe

As friendship develops between a longtime resident and a new arrival, the inhabitants of Middletown intersect in strange and poignant ways. A deeply compelling, funny journey that takes them from the local library to outer space and points between. This tale of “normal” townspeople is anything but.

Content Advisory Mature themes & strong language.

Middletown is two hours and thirty-five minutes in length, including a fifteen minute intermission.

Middletown is presented by special arrangement with SAMUEL FRENCH, INC.

Thursday, December 13 7:30pm
