MARCH 24 - APRIL 21, 2018

Directed by LISA ROTHE

When teenage daughter Lexie helps her reluctant single mother Nora re-enter the dating scene, an unlikely suitor emerges in Griff – the guy at the coffee shop who inadvertently witnesses Nora’s string of unsuccessful dates. As choices collide with coincidences and longing mixes with reality, each character must face the complications that always arise in the search for intimacy and the closeness of family. This captivating world premiere with a metaphysical twist navigates the paths of romance, marriage and parenting while exploring the pains and pleasures of all three.


ADVISORY:Sooner/Later is appropriate for adults and older teenage audiences. This captivating story about family contains strong adult language, sexual content and other mature themes commonly associated with the pains and pleasures of dating and parenting.

RUNNING TIME: Sooner/Later runs approximately 1 hour and 25 minutes, with no intermission.
