Columbus Ohio's CATCO will present playwright Carter W. Lewis' play EVIE'S WALTZ from February 17 thru March 7, 2010 at the Riffe Center Studio Two Theatre.

EVIE'S WALTZ tells the story of Clay and Gloria who are preparing a family barbecue. Their plans for the evening are disrupted by the unexpected arrival of their son's girlfriend, Evie.
