The Gin Game
As
funny as it is touching, this heartwarming “dramedy” explores the
lives of two spirited senior citizens, who express themselves and their
feelings – about their families, their lives and the aging process –
through the card games they play together. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize,
The Gin Game is sometimes
intense, always insightful, and consistently entertaining. The
Gin Game
will be presented January 17, 18, 19 (2 pm matinee), 23, 24 and 25,
2003. Except for the matinee, all performances are at 8 pm. Tickets are
