    Newport Playhouse day trip Thursday, October 6

    Posted on August 12, 2022 by Groton

    We are going back to Newport Playhouse!

    We will be seeing “Social Security “written by Andrew Bergman. This hilarious Broadway comedy surrounds a married couple who are art dealers. Their domestic tranquility is shattered upon the arrival of the wife’s goody-goody nerd of a sister, her uptight CPA husband, and her archetypal Jewish mother. They are there to try to save their college-student daughter from the horrors of living only for sex. The comic sparks really begin to fly when the mother hits it off with the elderly minimalist artist who is the art dealers’ best client!

    Newport Playhouse has been running long enough to be considered a Rhode Island institution. They have found the perfect formula
