All Afternoon by Susan Kleinman

Wednesday, June 3, 7:00 pm
With insight, wit, and emotional honesty, All Afternoon explores the courage it takes for a 1970’s New Jersey housewife to step out of the sidelines and claim a life of her own. Caught between the comfort of old rhythms and the thrill of new possibilities, she will have to decide exactly what price she’s willing to pay to live bravely, authentically, and without regret.
