In this scathingly funny look at a family in crisis, the Lyons family is falling apart just when they need to pull together. Rita Lyons, in a heroic effort to keep the family united while her husband, Ben, is dying of cancer, has called their grown children together to say good-bye around his hospital bed. In the ensuing maelstrom of kvetching, guilt-giving, and recriminations, they discover that despite being a family, each of them is utterly isolated. Afraid of closeness and afraid of solitude, the Lyons are unexpectedly propelled into foreign territory- human connection.

“Black comedy perfection.” –Hollywood Reporter,
“Smart and funny and moving.” –NY Observer

There’s no one way to grieve and Mari is determined to carve her own path. After her husband Daniel dies in a domestic terrorist incident, Mari plays cards with Daniel’s ghost, smokes pot, and shocks her fellow support groupies whenever possible.

Set before, during and after World War II, Jay Broad’s “North Over the Empty Place” is a play about love, disappointment and redemption. Three lost souls – Bill, Lisa and Frank – involved in a complicated love triangle, try to find meaning in their lives as war rips the world apart. What they find, or rather what they accept, ultimately turns out to be not at all what they thought they were looking for. The title comes from the Book of Job (26:7) “He stretches out the north over the empty place, and hangs the earth on nothing.” Writer-director Jay Broad had numerous Broadway and regional theatre credits as a playwright, producer and director. He passed away in January, 2017 at the age of 87.

The WORD Reading Series is a free event. No reservation is required.
What do you hope audiences will take away with them?

Oh, I don’t know … maybe that their families aren’t as messed up as they thought, that human connection can come from the most unexpected place… if you’re open.
