29 NOVEMBER–8 DECEMBER, ESPLOFT

ALL SHOWS PAY-WHAT-YOU-CAN

Ten actors unite for a staged reading of Wilder’s timeless story of time, tradition and family—our last performance in the historic ESPloft.

The characters: Several generations of one family. The setting: 90 years in the dining room of the Bayard House.

​

What begins as a simple family dinner soon becomes a moving tale of the passage of time, family connection, love and loss. And, when the curtain falls, the story continues in the homes and hearts of every American family.

​

ESPtheatre is delighted to join theatre companies across the country in celebrating this remarkable American playwright as part of the National Long Christmas Dinner Festival.

‘Well, well, I smell turkey.’

DETAILS

All ESP plays are pay-what-you-can, but reservations are encouraged for the ESPloft.

This performance is at the ESPloft:

16 E Patrick St, 2nd floor
Frederick, MD 21701

Running time 35 minutes

Please note that the ESPloft is upstairs in a historic building without any lift at present.
