The milestone presentation will feature a reading of the new work, “Portrait of a Woman in Repose.” Written by Nicky Glossman and directed by James Glossman , the play is funny, moving, and constantly surprising - a tour-de-force for three veteran actors about art, memory, survival, and what it means to restore what has been lost. The event is sold out. Nicole Caroselli is stage manager. Tickets, at $35 each, are sold out.

The Script in Hand 2026 season continues on Monday, November 30, at 7 p.m., title to be announced. Subscriptions to the Script in Hand series are available as well as single tickets.
