Serving up a Slice of Southern Life January 30–February 9, 2025

Beth Henley's Pulitzer Prize-winning play is a deeply touching and funny story about three eccentric sisters from a small Southern town shaken by scandal. Meg’s career is a wreck, Lenny is celebrating her birthday alone, and Babe has just been accused of shooting her husband. While they’ve always made waves in their small Mississippi town, they must now come together to face their troubling past in order to embrace their future. With equal parts heartache and hilarity, Crimes of the Heart celebrates the importance of being true to yourself and the love and support that can only come from your family.
