Hummingbird’s Tour
Bucks County Playhouse, 70 S. Main St, New Hope

1970, Northern California. Three aging siblings are thrown into a comic philosophical frenzy by an unexpected guest bearing unsettling mystical predictions. This “end of life comedy” by Margaret Dulaney (Balitsaris) takes a playful look at life, more life, and life after life with wit and more than a few surprises. Come and see this new play brought to the Bucks County Playhouse for its first run with a talented ensemble cast from New York and L.A. All proceeds from ticket sales will go to support the Haitian microfinance institution Fonkoze committed to lifting Haiti’s rural poor out of poverty since 1994.
