THE THURSDAY NIGHT BRIDGE CIRCLE
By Ray Kennedy
Directed by Dennis Delamar
Three generations of women gather for cards and conversation in a small NC town in the summer of 1970. The hot topic of this Thursday night is the news that desegregation has come to La Grange public schools. Typically a silent witness, the family’s black housekeeper finally shares her hand, revealing the effects of racism embedded in tradition. With a Steel Magnolias feel, this new work blends thought-provoking drama with witty southern comedy.
The Thursday Night Bridge Circle is also available to stream from home. Purchase a streaming ticket and you’ll receive a link to watch a video recording of Theatre Charlotte’s production. Streaming tickets are available now and the video recording will be available by March 15th.
