Lily hasn't always had it easy, but that's
never stopped her from working hard for
the life she wants. When she feels a spark
with a gorgeous neurosurgeon named
Ryle, everything in Lily's life suddenly
seems almost too good to be true. Ryle is
assertive, stubborn, maybe even a little
arrogant. He's also sensitive, brilliant, and
has a total soft spot for Lily. Even as Lily
finds herself becoming the exception to
his no dating rule, she can't help but
wonder what made him create that rule in
the first place. When Atlas, her first love
and a link to the past she left behind,
suddenly reappears, everything Lily has
built with Ryle is threatened. Combining a
captivating romance with a cast of all-toohuman characters, It Ends With Us is an
unforgettable tale of love that comes at
the ultimate price.
This is a ticketed event.
Tickets are free with the purchase
or preorder of It Ends With Us
at Joseph-Beth Booksellers.
Carousel Court
by Joe McGinnis Jr.
“This is a Molotov cocktail of a novel, lit
and ready to explode. Phoebe & Nick are
a married couple over their head in real
estate debt and go to desperate measures
to stay financially and mentally afloat.
Modern and desperate, terrifying but
tantalizing. Joe McGinnis Jr. is brilliant.”

Ten-year-old
Antoinette has a
severe form of
autism that requires
constant care and
attention. She has
never spoken a
word, but she has a
powerful gift that
others would give
anything to harness:
she can heal things with her touch.
Antoinette's gift, though, puts her own
life in danger, as each
healing comes with an
increasingly deadly
price. As Rose, the
center of her daughter's
life, struggles with her
own failing health, and
Rose's sister Lily
confronts her anguished
past, they come to
realize the sacrifices
that must be made to keep this very
special child safe. Written with great
heart and a deep understanding of what it
feels like to be different, The Peculiar
Miracles of Antoinette Martin is a novel
about the lengths to which people will go
to protect the ones they love.

A Prayer for
Owen Meany
by John Irving
Monday, August 29
7:00 pm
Every play’s journey from the page to the
stage is a fascinating one that involves the
collaboration of numerous theatre artists,
both onstage and off, to create the world
envisioned by the author. This season, in
partnership with Joseph-Beth Booksellers,
the Playhouse is launching a book club for
audience members interested in better
understanding this process. At this
pre-production discussion, we’ll talk about
the book itself: the plot and characters, the
overarching themes, how you might imagine
it translates to a theatrical setting and even
the challenges you see in adapting the story.
Our second discussion at Joseph-Beth on
Monday, September 19 at 7 pm, will take
place after you’ve had the opportunity to see
the play, to discuss what excited and
surprised you and to learn from members of
the artistic team how they approached the
show.
