The Book Club Play

The Book Club Play

Our 536th Production 

Ana is a Type A personality who lives in a letter-perfect world with an adoring husband, the perfect job and her greatest passion: Book Club. But when her cherished group becomes the focus of a documentary film, their intimate discussions about life and literature take a turn for the hilarious in front of the inescapable camera lens. Add a provocative new member along with some surprising new book titles and a few glasses of wine and these six friends are bound for pandemonium as they start reading between the lines with side splitting results! 

By Karen Zacarías
