Join us for a new comedy by Provincetown playwright Meryl Cohn. The author of such hits as And Sophie Comes Too and Reasons to Live, Cohn’s new play welcomes us into a beach cottage in Provincetown where two lifelong friends reunite to discuss an emergency plan they made many years ago...but which plan is it? The plan to live together for the rest of their lives? Or the plan that would separate them forever? And how far would you go to keep a promise to a friend?

The Jack of Hearts Club
BY POPULAR DEMAND WE HAVE ADDED AN ADDITIONAL PERFORMANCE
Free Staged Reading
August 8th at 10:00 PM
August 9th at 7:00 PM and 10:00 PM
Wipe the sand off your feet and come in for a drink; love is in the air at THE JACK OF HEARTS CLUB, and you have one more night in paradise.
It’s the last night of the summer of 1963 at The Jack of Hearts Club, a rowdy Provincetown bar overflowing with tourists during the peak season. Sonny is the club’s piano player, and his first summer in Provincetown is about to come to an end – which means he (along with almost everyone else) is preparing to return to life in the real world. As the community comes together for their traditional end-of-summer musical performance, everyone wants to figure out where they belong.
THE JACK OF HEARTS CLUB tells a story about community, belonging, and the human need for connection. Sometimes you have to come to Provincetown to figure out who you truly are — and sometimes you have to leave.​

Made possible by the generous support of Tom Kirdahy Productions.
