Over the last year, the tide has become a tsunami. As Beth goes through her shift, the stakes rise: is this the night she will lose someone? Save someone?
Eventually, Beth’s own story comes to light, revealing why she does it. All along we remain with her: listening, comforting, connecting — patching the world back together, one stitch at a time.
“The Listener” will be shown at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre April 12-18. Showtimes will be Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, April 12, 13, 14 and 15 at 6:30 p.m.; and Wednesday and Thursday, April 17 and 18 at 6:30 p.m.
