SUMMARY:Gloucester Stage presents BAD BOOKS by Sharyn Rothstein
DESCRIPTION:When a concerned mother finds her son with an “inappropriate” book\, an attempt to reason with the local librarian erupts into an explosive\, town-wide confrontation. As tensions rise and consequences escalate\, we learn that these women have more that connects them than what meets the eye. Bad Books explores the first impressions and raucous debates that divide us while forcing audiences to consider what it really means to care for our children. \nSharyn Rothstein’s poignant drama opens the 2026 Season with cunning humor and heartfelt dialogue in this regional-premiere directed by M. Bevin O’Garaº. Running from June 4 to 27\, all performances are at the Natti-Willsky Performance Center – 267 East Main Street\, Gloucester. Showtimes are Wednesdays – Saturdays at 7:30pm\, with matinees Saturdays & Sunday at 2:00pm.

SUMMARY:Gloucester Stage presents BAD BOOKS by Sharyn Rothstein
DESCRIPTION:When a concerned mother finds her son with an “inappropriate” book\, an attempt to reason with the local librarian erupts into an explosive\, town-wide confrontation. As tensions rise and consequences escalate\, we learn that these women have more that connects them than what meets the eye. Bad Books explores the first impressions and raucous debates that divide us while forcing audiences to consider what it really means to care for our children. \nSharyn Rothstein’s poignant drama opens the 2026 Season with cunning humor and heartfelt dialogue in this regional-premiere directed by M. Bevin O’Garaº. Running from June 4 to 27\, all performances are at the Natti-Willsky Performance Center – 267 East Main Street\, Gloucester. Showtimes are Wednesdays – Saturdays at 7:30pm\, with matinees Saturdays & Sunday at 2:00pm.

SUMMARY:Gloucester Stage presents BAD BOOKS by Sharyn Rothstein
DESCRIPTION:When a concerned mother finds her son with an “inappropriate” book\, an attempt to reason with the local librarian erupts into an explosive\, town-wide confrontation. As tensions rise and consequences escalate\, we learn that these women have more that connects them than what meets the eye. Bad Books explores the first impressions and raucous debates that divide us while forcing audiences to consider what it really means to care for our children. \nSharyn Rothstein’s poignant drama opens the 2026 Season with cunning humor and heartfelt dialogue in this regional-premiere directed by M. Bevin O’Garaº. Running from June 4 to 27\, all performances are at the Natti-Willsky Performance Center – 267 East Main Street\, Gloucester. Showtimes are Wednesdays – Saturdays at 7:30pm\, with matinees Saturdays & Sunday at 2:00pm.
