Over the course of six months filled with laughter, hilarious misadventures and the occasional liquid refreshment, these middle-aged women successfully bond and find the confidence to jump-start their new lives. Together, they discover lasting friendships and a renewed determination to live in the moment \u2013 and most importantly, realize it\u2019s never too late to make new old friends.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><b><i>Join the Bedford Players as we bring to life this wonderful comedy about friendship and what can happen when you step out of your comfort zone, at our next monthly play read.<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<h5><\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<div><b>What is a play read?<\/b><\/div>\n<div>A play read is a casual, no-pressure evening where we come together as a group to read through a play.
