7:00pm - New Works at Lakewood Theatre: Bama Breeze by Mike Westby

The 40th Reunion of the University of Alabama Class of 1984 brings four couples back together. First, the football hero and his cheerleader wife. The second couple, who also met at Alabama, before he went on to be a plastic surgeon. The third couple, a soap opera star who is now married to Ted, his onetime stylist. And the fourth couple are going too, even though he dropped out his senior year and virtually disappeared. Each of them are bringing secrets to the party, things they were hoping to deal with before getting together again. Funny things can and do happen in this comedy drama, when old friends hope to catch up, but not all the way. The winds of change are blowing them all into Tuscaloosa. It’s a Bama Breeze.

Location: Lakewood Center for the Arts, 368 S State Street, Lake Oswego , Oregon , 97034
