LEADING LADIES presents
with Executive Producer FIFTH THIRD BANK

 

THE
BOOK CLUB
PLAY

  • By Karen Zacarías
  • Directed by Blake Robison

MARCH 22 – APRIL 20, 2025

MOE AND JACK'S PLACE — THE ROUSE THEATRE

ABOUT THE SHOW

A comedy about books and the people who love them. When the members of a devoted book club become the subjects of a documentary filmmaker, their intimate discussions of life and literature take on new meaning with the camera rolling. Add in the unexpected arrival of a provocative new member and the sudden inclusion of some questionable titles, and long-standing group dynamics take a hilarious turn. A sold-out hit at theatres across the country, The Book Club Play by Playhouse favorite Karen Zacarías returns! This delightful and engaging play is sprinkled with wit, joy and novels galore.

ADVISORY

The Book Club Play is recommended for older teenager and adult audiences. Using only mild adult language, some (very funny) book discussions reference identity, sex and maybe … sparkly vampires?
