More on Midwives

"On an icy winter night in the rustic community of Reddington, Vermont, seasoned midwife Sibyl Danforth is forced to make a life-or-death decision that will change her world forever..." Once you pick this book up, you will not be able to put it down. At least that's what we are hoping as we present Readers Theatre at the Whidbey Playhouse on Tuesday, April 15 at 7pm. A local actress, Candice Baker, will do a dramatic reading, playing Sibyl's daughter Connie as a 32-year old obstetrician and as the 14-year-old she was when the events took place. She will also play Sibyl herself, as told through her journals.

We are marketing this heavily with the Chamber of Commerce crowd: the goal is to hook those busy folks who might not otherwise take time to read a book (especially a book of fiction). For all those who always wanted to join a book club but never had time to read.... WE'LL DO THE READING FOR YOU! It should be a lot of fun - coffee, cookies and book sales by the local bookstore afterwards. All in preparation for the big event with Chris Bohjalian himself on May 19.
