SUMMARY:A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness
DESCRIPTION:‘Stories are wild creatures\, the monster said. When you let them loose\, who knows what havoc they might wreak?’ \nPatrick Ness’s piercing novel A Monster Calls is brought to The Old Vic stage in a powerful new adaptation by visionary director Sally Cookson. \nThirteen-year-old Conor and his mum have managed just fine since his dad moved to America. \nBut now his mum’s very sick and she’s not getting any better. His grandmother won’t stop interfering and the kids at school won’t look him in the eye. \nThen\, one night\, at seven minutes past midnight\, Conor is woken by something at his window. A monster has come walking. \nIt’s come to tell Conor tales from when it walked before. And when it’s finished\, Conor must tell his own story and face his deepest fears. \nOn publication\, A Monster Calls became a bestseller with children and adults alike with its dazzling insight into love\, loss and healing. \nIt garnered huge critical acclaim\, including an unprecedented double win of the Carnegie and Greenaway Medals for outstanding children’s literature and illustration. \nBased on the novel by Patrick Ness \nInspired by an idea by Siobhan Dowd \nhttps://www.grunincenter.org/event/a-monster-calls/2025-11-15/2/ \nclittle@ocvts.org \n7322865678

SUMMARY:Tru - The Life and Times of Truman Capote
DESCRIPTION:Broadway Veteran Don Stitt plays Truman Capote in this play adapted from the words and works of Truman Capote. \nTru takes place in the writer’s New York City apartment during the week before Christmas\, 1975. \nAn excerpt from Capote’s infamous novel Answered Prayers has recently been published in Esquire and the author’s friends\, recognizing the characters as thinly veiled versions of themselves\, have turned their back on the man they once considered a close confidant. \nThis is also the same novel that inspired the very popular FX/Hulu Series Feud: Capote vs the Swans. \nhttps://surflight.org/ \ninfo@surflight.org \n609-492-9477

SUMMARY:On Golden Pond
DESCRIPTION:This is the love story of Ethel and Norman Thayer\, who are returning to their summer home on Golden Pond for the forty-eighth year. \nHe is a retired professor\, nearing eighty\, with heart palpitations and a failing memory—but still as tart-tongued\, observant\, and eager for life as ever. \nEthel\, ten years younger\, and the perfect foil for Norman\, delights in all the small things that have enriched and continue to enrich their long life together. \nThey are visited by their divorced\, middle-aged daughter and her dentist fiancé\, who then go off to Europe\, leaving his teenage son behind for the summer. \nThe boy quickly becomes the “grandchild” the elderly couple have longed for\, and as Norman revels in taking his ward fishing and thrusting good books at him\, he also learns some lessons about modern teenage awareness—and slang—in return. \nIn the end\, as the summer wanes\, so does their brief idyll\, and in the final\, deeply moving moments of the play\, Norman and Ethel are brought even closer together by the incidence of a mild heart attack. Time\, they know\, is now against them\, but the years have been good and\, perhaps\, another summer on Golden Pond still awaits. \n\nhttps://surflight.org/ \ninfo@surflight.org \n609-492-9477
