3) Another not-to-be-missed show at the Chicken Box this week is a staged reading of Nancy Thayer's The Hot Flash Club on Tuesday, August 25 and Wednesday, August 26, from 6-8 p.m. This famed novel tells the story of four Boston-area women in their 50's and 60's who meet and form the titular club, and we're sure it will be fantastic on stage!
