TVCC Theatre Announces The Book Club Play
Trinity Valley Community College Theatre Department is excited to announce the cast for their fall production of “The Book Club Play.”
Loads of laughter and literature collide in this smart hit comedy about books and the people who love them. Ana is a Type A personality who lives in a letter-perfect world with an adoring husband, the perfect job and her greatest passion: Book Club. But when her cherished group becomes the focus of a documentary film, their intimate discussions about life and literature take a turn for the hilarious in front of the inescapable camera lens. Add a provocative new member along with some surprising new book titles, and these six friends are bound for pandemonium. Sprinkled with fun theatrical references to documentaries and novels galore from Moby Dick and Age of Innocence to Twilight and The Da Vinci Code, this buoyant comedy on contemporary culture will have everyone laughing, and reflecting.
“The Book Club Play,” written by Karen Zacarías, is a delightful new play about life, love, literature and the side-splitting results when friends start reading between the lines.
The cast includes:
- Pluto Wilson as Ana Smith
- Scott Peebles as Robert Novum Smith Jr
- Jessie Wilson as Jennifer McClintock
- Riley O’ Donnell as William Nothnagel
- Mckenzie Gracia as Lily Louise Jackson

- Brandon Cook and Claire Capehart as Pundits
The production is under the direction of Head of Performance Studies Craig Lee, Head of Theatrical Design Elizabeth “Biz” Nelson and Technical Director Bohb Nelson
