The Middlebury Community Players are delighted to present two staged readings of Left & Leaving, a bittersweet comedy by Bristol playwright A. Jay Dubberly.
A young couple is determined to host the perfect holiday gathering in their new Vermont home. Their plans start to unravel when an eccentric older man appears at the door, explains that he used to live there, and then simply refuses to leave.
