Calendar reads “JULY”. which usually means “SUMMERTIME”... kids are out of school... days and nights are jam packed with special events, summer visitors & family celebrations. But, alas, weather predictions say otherwise.

Set in gossipy late 18th century England, with a fresh female voice, the play is full of humor, emotional depth, and bold theatricality.
