The Performances

Come and hear the world premiere of a new play written especially for MMSC by our Playwright-in-Residence Laurence Carr. Entitled Scrabble and Tabouli, the play deals with coping with loss, a terrorist attack and a hopeful ending. Reading the two lead roles in the premiere of Mr. Carr's new play will be MMSC's favorites Christine Crawfis and Bruce Pileggi.
