The teacher is Lisa Bryant, an ACBL certified bridge director and educator.
Other games are scheduled on Mondays and Wednesdays at 12:30; Fridays at 12:00; and some Sundays at 1:00. Game signup is $8.00.

From an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines), the accident-prone thespians battle against all odds to survive until their final curtain call. Ready to laugh till it hurts? Book your tickets NOW for the show that has been hailed as “a gut-busting hit” by critics and fans alike!

Set in the 1590s, brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom are desperate to write a hit play but are stuck in the shadow of that Renaissance rock star, “The Bard.” When a local soothsayer foretells that the future of theatre involves singing, dancing, and acting simultaneously, Nick and Nigel set out to write the world’s first musical. But amidst the scandalous excitement of the opening night, the Bottom Brothers realize that reaching the top means being true to “thine own self” and all that jazz.
