COMMUNITY EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES
"Community is a sign that love is possible in a materialistic world where people so often either ignore or fight each other. It is a sign that we don't need a lot of money to be happy--in fact, the opposite."

Play will run for 90 minutes with no intermission
Tommy is a middle aged man just getting by. He's renting a run-down room in his uncle Maurice's house and rolling from one get-rich-quick scheme to the next with his pal Doc. Fate intervenes as one day he comes to the aid of Aimee, a woman with her own set of troubled circumstances. The past won't easily let go but together these characters discover a glimmer of renewed hope. A tiny bit of something extraordinary.
