A circle of friends is sent for a spin when a former child star moves back into town after a stint in rehab and gets the homecoming of a lifetime. Jealous boyfriends, fallen trees, overcooked bacon and career greeters populate this world of lonely hearts who learn that life always goes on, even if no one wants you any more.

More Information
<p>In Thursday, a day like no other, ex-TV star, Marcy returns home from 8 years in Hollywood to find that George is dating Allison and Pete is hopelessly in love with Jimmy and even the Post Office might not want the skills of a former TV star. Marcy’s got to get a job, Pete’s gotta get Jimmy, George isn’t so sure what to do and Marcy better watch her back. Adam Bock’s Thursday is a comically tragic, tragically comic play about a group of friends making the journey into adulthood-- whether they like it or not. Their road is filled with a thousand obstacles. The way they handle them is what becomes what their lives, and ours, are made of.</p>
