This modern comedy about life in a small town will have performances, March 9-11 @7:30pm and March 12th @2pm.

At the MVLCT’s website they describe the play:

Middletown is a deeply moving and funny new play exploring the universe of a small American town. As a friendship develops between longtime resident John Dodge and new arrival Mary Swanson, the lives of the inhabitants of Middletown intersect in strange and poignant ways in a journey that takes them from the local library to outer space and points between.
