Hat Tricks

Synopsis:
Hat Tricks is an exciting compilation of six scenes and three monologues designed for performance by mature actresses. Covering a range of women's experiences in the second half of life, these nine pieces range from the purely comedic to those that combine humor with thoughtful and sometimes poignant explorations. This is a richly varied collection featuring a single intriguing commonality: every scene or monologue includes the presence and compelling use of a HaT!
