The fall play in the Sun Lakes Community Theatre season will be Dearly Departed, a comedy by David Bottrell and Jessie Jones. Tickets will be sold October 8 at the Cottonwood Open House and online at slctinfo.org and will continue at sites to be announced in the Splash. Tickets are $16 and the show will run November 8-November 12.

“This fast-paced farce is one of the funniest shows I have ever directed,” said Director Howard Hummel. “The heart of the play is the coming together of a bunch of oddball family members. Fences are mended, wrongs are righted and some surprising revelations are made. It will be a great evening of theater.”
