Friday, June 29th

Comedy: Beyond Therapy (7:30pm-9:45pm)
Bruce and Prudence meet through a personal ad in the newspaper, quite similar to, yet not as fast-paced as today’s dating apps. What are they looking for? What are we all looking for? Connection. This comedy follows Bruce and Prudence into their search for connection with the guidance of their therapists.

But are their therapists well suited? Mrs. Wallace can’t seem to remember common words in the English language and uses a Snoopy doll as a coping mechanism. Dr. Framingham can’t seem to get any of his patients to talk and may also have masculinity problems. Bruce and Prudence, are they fated or are they jinxed? The Collective NB, 169 William Street, New Bedford.
