The Avenidas Wise Owl Players, a troupe of mature adults using their talent and wisdom to entertain, present an elaborate dramatic reading of Ripcord. This absurdist comedy by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright David Lindsay-Abaire stars two senior assisted-living roommates, the cranky Abby and cheerfully annoying Marilyn. As they compete to claim the bed near the large bedroom window, they place bets that become increasingly dangerous practical jokes. Complete with costumes and props, the play stars seven seniors from Avenidas (a community center for adults aged 50 and up) and is directed by retired Harker School Library Director Enid Davis.
