Cockpit in Court Summer Theatre, in residence at CCBC Essex, will perform Dot July 23 – August 7. All performances will be held at the Robert and Eleanor Romadka College Center Cabaret Theatre at CCBC Essex, 7201 Rossville Boulevard.The holidays are always a wild family affair at the Shealy house. But this year, Dotty and her three grown children gather with more than exchanging presents on their minds. As Dotty struggles to hold on to her memory, her children must fight to balance care for their mother and care for themselves. This twisted and hilarious new play grapples unflinchingly with aging parents, midlife crises and the heart of a West Philly neighborhood.
Dot, directed by Rikki Howie, is presented through special arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. (www.concordtheatricals.com).
Dot performance schedule:
July 23, 29, 30 and August 5, 6 at 8 p.m.
