THE YEAR OF THE SUDDENLY by Deborah Kimmett

Sunday, September 23, 2018, 7:30pm

A hilarious story of family and the love and compassion that
chronicles the aftermath of a life changing moment. Written
and performed by stand-up comedian, Deborah Kimmett
(who wowed New Stages audiences in last season’s Hits &
Misses cabaret), ’Suddenly’ is described as part stand-up,
part eulogy, and masterfully walks the tightrope between
bittersweet and laugh-out-loud comedy.

Staged readings get to the imaginative heart of theatre.  
The words of the playwright, the voices of the actors, and
the imagination of the audience bring the plays vividly to life.
