The Waverly Galleryby: Kenneth Lonergan
Gladys, the elderly matriarch of the Green family, has run an art gallery in a small Greenwich Village hotel for many years. The management wants to replace her less than thriving gallery with a coffee shop. Always irascible but now increasingly erratic, Gladys is a cause of concern to her daughter, her son-in-law and her grandson, from whose point of view this poignant memory play is told. A wacky and heartrending look at the effect of senility on a family. Performances |

"Denson is particularly adept at tuning in to the ultra-naturalism in those frequent scenes in which family members all talk at once but seldom seem to connect."
