Vagabond Players Presents THE WAITING ROOM 6/4-27

The Vagabond Players announce the area premiere of Samm-Art Williams' comedy-drama The Waiting Room on June 4.

The New York Times review of The Waiting Room notes: "Laughs fly fast and furious in a most unlikely setting (the Waiting Room of Memorial Hospital in Bend River, North Carolina) as friends and family members gather to learn the fate of patriarch Pullen Innes, who has just suffered a heart attack. As human drama swirls around them, the African-American Innes clan tries to deal with the "shocking" family secret which has just been divulged. Their lives will never be the same! The Vagabond Players is pleased to present this area premiere by an award-winning playwright who was featured last season at Center Stage."

Playwright Williams will attend opening night, and will be available for conversation at the after-show reception.

Tickets are available online at http://www.vagabondplayers.org/ or by telephone at (410) 563-9135. Ticket prices are $15, with discounts for Seniors and Students.
