On the eve of her 25th birthday, Catherine, a troubled young woman, has spent years caring for her brilliant but unstable father, a famous mathematician. Now, following his death, she must deal with her own volatile emotions; the arrival of her estranged sister, Claire; and the attentions of Hal, a former student of her father's who hopes to find valuable work in the 103 notebooks that her father left behind. Over the long weekend that follows, a burgeoning romance and the discovery of a mysterious notebook draw Catherine into the most difficult problem of all: How much of her father's madness — or genius — will she inherit? This show contains strong language.

Don't forget about Dear Edwina, Jr. at ARTS this weekend. Tickets are $5. Bring the family and sing along with Edwina and her friends as they share their advice with the people of Paw Paw Michigan. Very family-friendly show, especially for children.
