Synopsis: Awarded the 2024 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, this play tells the heartwarming story of Kenneth, a 30-something man working in a small town at a small bookstore, who spends his evenings drinking mai-tais at a Tiki bar – and chatting with his imaginary friend. When the bookstore closes, Kenneth embarks on a journey of self-discovery and lands a job at the local bank, where he finds the kind of real connections that have always eluded him. Directed by Saffron Henke.
