Four mentally handicapped men live in a communal residence in New England with the help of a young social worker who loves his work, but is discovering he is “burned out”. Split into scenes showing the daily lives of these men, there are moments of humor and sadness. The play illustrates how these men are not as different from those designated ‘normal people’ as they would appear- and how much those ‘normal people’ take for granted every day.

Performances will be in our downstairs cabaret style theater on February 10, 11, 17, & 18 at 8pm with matinees on February 12 & 19 at 3pm.

Tickets are now on sale at www.winthropplaymakers.com
