Bridge Street Theatre presents Terrence McNally's "The Lisbon Traviata," directed and designed by John Sowle. Beneath the witty banter of two devoted opera lovers lies a friendship strained by unspoken desire, betrayal, and the search for lasting connection during the height of the AIDS crisis. By turns hilarious and heartbreaking, McNally's celebrated play uses the soaring passions of grand opera to explore longing, identity, and the fragile bonds that connect us. Featuring Timothy Dunn, Michael Raver, Jeff Brackett, and M. Damon Hawkins. August 6–16. Adults $30, Students $25. https://bridgest.org/the-lisbon-traviata/
