Between the Lines, JR.

Between the Lines JR. is a new Broadway Junior show based on the novel by international bestselling authors Jodi Picoult & Samantha van Leer, featuring a book by Picoult and Timothy Allen McDonald (Roald Dahl’s James and the Giant Peach, The Big One-Oh!) and score by Elyssa Samsel & Kate Anderson (Apple TV+’s “Central Park”). 

Between the Lines Jr. is an empowering and enchanting musical for anyone who has struggled to find their place in the world. An outsider in a new town and a new school, Delilah seeks comfort in the pages of her favorite book, where she feels heard and understood by the handsome Prince Oliver. But as the lines between fantasy and reality begin to blur in extraordinary ways, Delilah realizes her dreams in the real world are worth fighting for.

Blithe Spirit

In this classic comedy by Noël Coward, novelist Charles Condomine — hoping to get material for his new book — invites medium Madame Arcati into his home. Instead of literary inspiration, the eccentric medium conjures Elvira, Charles’s mischievous and very deceased first wife. 

Willful and temperamental in life and death, Elvira proceeds to create hilarious, haunting havoc as she attempts to sabotage Charles’s relationship with his current wife, Ruth, through a series of increasingly chaotic events.

Up Next: An Enemy of the People

September 9, 6:30 pm
CIVIC Main Lobby
Directed by Matt Benedict

It has been ten years since the last reunion of the crazy ladies. Menopause has arrived and the ladies are crazier than ever. The mission is to convince Kay, the gun-toting tomboy, to marry Shaun (the guy she once kidnapped and held accountable for the sins of men). Hilarious…poignant…utterly mad.

Join us in the Main Lobby for an informal reading in a cafe-style setting.
