The 2024 Pulitzer Prize winning play comes to life on the Playhouse stage.

Eboni Booth’s 2024 Pulitzer Prize winning breakout play is an uplifting, gentle and powerful exploration of change, friendship, and quiet courage. Meet Kenneth, a creature of habit whose world is upended when his lifelong job ends – and he’s nudged into the unknown by his best friend Bert and a few unexpected encounters over mai tais at the local tiki bar. This luminous new American play draws us into a deeply human journey, as Kenneth takes small steps into a bigger world – one where every connection holds the power to transform a life.

Cajun Dance Party with Cajun Surprise
Saturday, June 6, 8 PM (Doors at 7 PM, Dance lesson 7:30 PM)
Tickets: $20 (Kids under 13, Free)

Cajun Surprise is an exciting acoustic project from Grammy-nominated Louisiana native Jean Bertrand (Pine Leaf Boys, 99 Playboys) and Boston-based multi-instrumentalist Zach Meyer (Grain Thief, The Talking Hearts, Dumpster Debbie).

Drawing on their deep knowledge of roots music without being confined by tradition, Jean and Zach’s playful collaboration propels the Cajun genre in an unexpectedly delightful direction. With a repertoire spanning Balfa Brothers classics to obscure deep cuts to new originals, Jean and Zach trade accordion, guitar, and vocal duties while occasionally adding in less traditional instruments such as clarinet, harmonica, and banjo.

Cajun Surprise debuted at Oldtone Roots Music Festival in the fall of 2024. Since then, they’ve delighted New England audiences from dancehalls and dive bars to cozy house concerts and jam sessions. For this tour, Cajun Surprise will be joined by Lafayette fiddler and vocalist Amy Scher, who will lend her unique voice and add some honky tonk flair.

Join us for an intimate evening and a rollicking good time. Laissez les bon temps rouler!
