“The Wings” is a charitable home for retired actresses, women who once lived at the very center of applause and public admiration, and who must now learn how to live together when the curtain has long since fallen. Coward’s signature wit is radical in its insistence that these women are not relics of a bygone era, but fully realized human beings who are sharp, opinionated, funny, difficult, generous, and full of life. They are voices shaped by experience, artistry, and survival. With poignant humor, Waiting in the Wings reminds us that if we are to live fully, we must continue to grow and recognize that a life well led is measured not by applause, but by connection. Pay What You Will ticket pricing is available for the 7:30 performance on August 17 (online beginning a week prior to the performance date and in person at the box office on the day of the show). A prologue discussion with the cast will take place before this performance at 6:30pm.
