MEET YOUR NEIGHBOR
Meet the Comstocks! Beth and Brent Comstock were traveling to Portugal via Boston with friends in May 2023. While boarding their flight in Boston, they encountered a couple in their row who asked if they lived in Atlanta. Beth and Brent responded that they lived just outside of Atlanta, in Norcross. To their surprise, the couple exclaimed, "We live in Norcross, too! We thought we recognized you from walking your dog." Soon, both parties realized they lived only about 5 houses apart. That's how the Comstocks met Bill and Sherrie Siegel. After arriving in Lisbon, the two couples ran into each other at least two more times, one of which was while enjoying Aperol Spritzes at a café, where this memorable picture was snapped.

DEATHTRAP at Lionheart Theatre
Comfortably ensconced in his charming Connecticut home, Sidney Bruhl, a successful writer of Broadway thrillers, is struggling to overcome a dry spell that has resulted in a string of failures and a shortage of funds. A possible break in his fortunes occurs when he receives a script from a student in the seminar he has been conducting at a nearby college—a thriller that Sidney recognizes immediately as a potential Broadway smash. DEATHTRAP provides twists and turns of devilish cleverness and offers hilariously sudden shocks in such abundance that audiences will be spellbound until the very last moment. See the schedule and buy tickets.
