Violet\, Doralee\, and Judy are all at different points in their careers at Consolidated\, but they all have one thing in common; a truly terrible boss. Franklin Hart makes the office an awful place\, whether it is berating Judy\, ignoring Violet\, or paying far too much unwanted attention to Doralee. When a minor accident snowballs into a full blown fiasco\, the ladies band together and decide to take the reins and make the office somewhere everyone can actually enjoy putting in their 9 to 5. As long as they don’t get caught… \nOpen Captioning available at all \nperformances; ASL Interpretation available at the May 8th performance.

SUMMARY:The Odyssey: An Artistic Adaptation for 2 Actors
DESCRIPTION:What is the cost of our choices? Can love sustain across time\, war and distance? Can you ever really find your way home? \nJoin actors Stephen Collins and Poornima Kirby as they take on this three-thousand-year-old epic about the adventures of a wily and complicated traveler. Our two-person\, one-hour adaptation draws from multiple translations\, punctuated with poetry and sea-chanties to connect this age-old epic to our modern time. Told as a marital squabble between Odysseus and his wife\, Penelope\, the story weaves through Odysseus’ travels and to his arrival in Ithaca to face the fall-out of his absence\, and find out if he can really come home. With Stephen Collins as the funny\, damaged\, scheming Odysseus and Poornima flowing nimbly between Penelope\, Calypso\, Circe\, the Cyclops and many more characters – our artistic\, playful\, searching adaptation explores the universal human needs that run through this ancient poem – from the desire to belong\, to the hunger for vengeance\, to the hope of a second chance. \nThe Concord Free Public Library is committed to providing everyone with unimpeded access to our resources\, programs\, and services.
