Performance dates will be April 12, 2024– April 21, 2024, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 PM, Sundays at 2:00 PM at the Playhouse located at 1800 S. Main Street in Broken Arrow. This production contains some adult language. Grace Stiles, 90-years-old and dying of cancer, has left her hospital bed and has returned to her beloved cottage in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. It is here that she wants to live out the rest of her days – not in a cold, unfeeling hospital. It all seems like a straightforward final wish – until Gloria Whitmore shows up. Gloria is a Harvard MBA recently transplanted to this rural backwater from New York and is a volunteer from hospice who has been sent to the rustic cabin to take care of Grace during her waning time. Although Grace is 90, she is a formidable barrier to Gloria’s good intentions. The BACP is pleased to welcome back award-winning director Martha Cherbini for this show. Martha has directed several shows at the BACP over the years - perhaps most notably "Gin Game," which she and her cast took to state, national and international theatre contests. Grace and Glorie will be brought to life onstage by Brenda Rowan and Kristin Blue Fisher. For more information and to purchase tickets for Grace & Glorie, please call the BACP at 918-258-0077. Tickets may also be purchased online by visiting https://www.bacptheatre.com/tickets Grace & Glorie is presented by special arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc.www.concordtheatricals.com.
