TOUCH ME: SONGS FOR A (DIS)CONNECTED AGE - Runs through October 7, 2021

UP CLOSE presents big ideas in smaller spaces. Touch Me takes place in Arts Commons Big Secret Theatre.
Running Time: 1h 30m (no intermission)

BOOK CLUB II: THE NEXT CHAPTER - Runs through October 7, 2021
Book Club is BACK! Get ready for another page turner.
There’s trouble in suburban paradise and once again it’s Book Club to the rescue.
It’s two years later and Lisa realizes her marriage has become mired in routine. Her girlfriends decide that a weekend in a resort hotel would be a perfect get away for all of them. But when conversation turns to the possibility of creating a Mommy Commune and Lisa bumps into an old flame, the ladies have to examine what marriage and sisterhood truly mean to them.
