Join us for this wry comedy about family and the stories we tell about people we may never really know.

FOURTEEN FUNERALS by Eric Pfeffinger

"Fourteen Funerals" is a wry comedy about family and the stories we tell about people we may never really know. Sienna is a little surprised when Millie reaches out to her from the funeral home in her childhood hometown of Blissfield, Indiana. She’s even more surprised to hear that her entire extended family has been wiped out in one fell swoop. As the very last of the Fitchwoods, Sienna’s got a lot to learn about herself, her new friend, and her estranged relations.

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.
