Preview Performance of<br />
Before It Hits Home by Cheryl West<br />
NEW!<br />
Set in the early 90’s Before It Hits Home tells the story of Wendal<br />
Bailey, a black bisexual jazz musician whose life on the down-low<br />
endangers both himself and his loved ones. This complex and<br />
thought-provoking play explores the effects of AIDS on Wendal,<br />
his lovers, and his entire family. This crisis in the Bailey family is<br />
often raw and candid, but is much more than just a story about<br />
AIDS. Cheryl West’s award-winning play is ultimately a story about<br />
conditional and unconditional love. Contains mature themes<br />
and strong language.<br />
<strong>OLLI</strong> Members have the privilege of attending the “by invitation<br />

Good News<br />
presented by Cup of Water Players<br />
NEW!<br />
This show is set at fictional Tait College<br />
during the roaring 20’s when colleges were<br />
as much a social scene as an academic one.<br />
Good News first opened on Broadway in 1927<br />
and then was adapted to film in 1947 starring<br />
June Allyson and Peter Lawford. Filled with fun,<br />
dance, excitement and such great songs as<br />
“Button Up Your Overcoat,” “Keep Your Sunny<br />
Side Up,” “Life is Just a Bowl of Cherries,”<br />
“Together” and many more, you will surely<br />
enjoy our lively adaptation!<br />
Cup of Water Players is a group of theatrical players who perform<br />
on the stage of life. “We take the gift of musical theatre and drama<br />
to those who can’t come to us, and we do it for love: the love of<br />
theatre, the love of music, and the love of those in need.”<br />
