Athens Creative Theatre is presenting three performances of The Cemetery Club, a play telling the story of three Jewish widows who meet once a month for tea before visiting their husbands’ graves. The widows are Lucille, Doris and Ida. On one outing, the three meet a butcher named Sam who is there to visit his wife’s grave. A romance begins between Ida—the most sweet-natured of the three women, ready to begin a new chapter in life—and Sam. The feisty and fun-loving Lucille and the judgemental Doris try to stop the romance, and must deal with their guilt when their actions threaten to break Ida’s heart. Tickets to see The Cemetery Club are available online or in person via Morton Theatre.
