A North Carolina husband, father, and hardware store owner’s life becomes radically altered during the pandemic.
Performed by Daniel Damiano and Judy Alvarez. Directed by Leslie Kincaid Burby.
Following the play reading, there will be a discussion, led by Society Leader Dr. Nori Rost, of the ethical issues in the play, the choices that people make, and the power of those things that influence us for good or evil. Join us as we struggle to come to terms with the events of this historic day.
