Fortunato Court
Sturbridge, MA
Museful Intent & The Co-Op at Fortunato Court are proud to present the world premiere of Mary Darling's newest play Average Hospital. In this 1980s soap opera comedy, several people find themselves in a highly redundant cycle of betrayal, infidelity, and life-threatening medical circumstances. The run time is 60 minutes without an intermission & after the show, we invite you to hang back for a low-key cocktail social hour! We also invite you to dust off your 80s clothes and hairstyles and wear them because...this show takes place in the late 80s.
This play includes strong language and ridiculously suggestive sexual overtones, therefore it is not suitable for children.
