SUMMARY:Chautauqua Theater Company presents the world premiere of The Witnesses (formerly titled Tell Me You’re Dying)
DESCRIPTION:By C.A. Johnson\nDirected by Jade King Carroll  \nThe Witnesses compels us to question not only if we can change but if we have time to do so while the world appears to be ending.\nInfused with C.A. Johnson’s brutal honesty\, exacting humor\, and heartfelt exploration of human relationships\, the story pulses with urgency\, vulnerability and unexpected warmth. \nWhile an apocalyptic plague rages\, five individuals unite in their weekly support group to forge a sanctuary of care and companionship. Centering on the darkly funny and wildly magnetic Millicent and her chosen family of misfits\, this play explores the undeniable physical urge for human connection. \nThis production is recommended for audiences ages 13 and older. \nThis performance offers:  \nPick Your Price (PYP)\nCTC’s PYP program ensures theater remains accessible to all by allowing patrons to choose ticket prices based on their budget.
