BE WELL by Steven Banks

When a devoted teacher’s life begins to fall apart, he’s forced to question the choices that once defined him. The classroom no longer feels like home, and the future he imagined is slipping away. To move forward, he must decide whether happiness lies in holding on or learning to let go.

The Chelsea District Library and the Purple Rose Theatre are pleased to offer full-cast readings of upcoming or debut plays by new and established playwrights. Enjoy professional quality plays and acting with no admittance costs, and get a chance to share your thoughts and feedback with the director, playwright, and actors.
