We would like to book a block of seats to see our very own Hilary Crist as the lead in Light Sensitive. It's a play about a former NYC cabdriver who was blinded several years ago in a freak accident. His bartender friend has been helping him out for years, but is moving to Vermont with a new love of his life. He gets a volunteer (played by Hilary) to look after his buddy. The cabdriver is NOT happy about this...lots of laughter, a few tears, and a great night at the theater!

Nov 23, 24, 25 (Fri., Sat. at 8P, sunday at 2P)
Nov. 28, 29, 30, Dec. 1, 2 (Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat. at 8P, Sunday at 2P)
