BEFORE WE'RE GONE relates the bittersweet and heartbreaking story of two brilliant and passionate people whose love story is thwarted by age, timing and circumstance. ACT ONE: They meet in 1956 when she at 36, is temporarily living in Reno, Nevada awaiting a divorce and he at 20, is a young man on sabbatical wrestling with his doubts about entering the priesthood. A true friendship develops as she, the award-winning writer and political activist challenges and stimulates his desire to become a writer, and inevitably, his physical desires. ACT TWO: They meet again in 1981 on the eve of her planned suicide. Though 25 years have passed, their deep connection and longing for each other's minds and hearts has not changed as they spend their first and last night together.

This true gem of a play will leave you with tears in your eyes; see BEFORE WE'RE GONE before it's gone on August 5.
