Middletown is a deeply moving and funny 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.

“Middletown” opens November 18th and runs through December 4th with no performances the weekend after Thanksgiving. Performances will be held in The Verge Suite 107 at the Emerson. Friday and Saturday evenings begin at 7:30pm and Sunday matinees at 3:00pm.
