Never been to our theatre before and unsure of what to expect? BHCT's social story provides a step by step overview of a night at the theatre for those wanting a little preparation.
BHCT Social Story
A sunny room on an upper floor is prime real estate in the Bristol Place Senior Living Facility, so when the cantankerous Abby is forced to share her quarters with new-arrival Marilyn, she has no choice but to get rid of the infuriatingly chipper woman by any means necessary. A seemingly harmless bet between the old women quickly escalates into a hilarious and dangerous game of one-upmanship that reveals not just the tenacity of these worthy opponents, but also deeper truths that each would rather remain hidden.

*This production contains adult language and adult situations.
