Staged Reading: The Cayuga Canal Girls – 3/16 at Emanuel Episcopal Church

The Cayuga Canal Girls

by Laura King

Five female childhood friends reunite in their historic hometown of Seneca Falls, New York, to lay one of their own to rest. As they struggle to come to grips with the surprising death, they reopen old wounds, face harsh realities, and confront the compromises they have made in their lives. But as the day wears on, the women learn that even though into each life some rain must fall, the rain offers a cleansing promise of new possibilities.

Directed by George Andre Tittle

Doors open 12:45 pm
Paid parking is available behind the church at the corner of Read and Charles Streets
