“The Bookstore” by Adam Szymkowicz (Presented with special permission from Playscripts)

Directed by Randyll Mauro

 The future of a whimsical, almost magical bookstore is uncertain after the owner dies and leaves the shop to her niece Rachel (Emily Butler), who has a job in New York City that doesn't pay her enough and a fiancé that won't stop calling. She doesn't have the time or patience to run a bookstore, so when real estate magnate Max Brewer (Steve Line) offers her more money than she can imagine to turn the store into an apartment complex, her choice seems like a no-brainer. As Candace (Cat Webling), the store manager, takes Rachel through a tour of the store, the shop works its magic on her and as she gets to know the eccentric employees and clientele, she starts to wonder: Can you really put a price on a beloved community bookstore?

This quirky, fun and endearing cast is rounded out with Teressa Roe, Allison Davis, Sage Wilde, Jordyn Ploutz, Annabelle Seader, Monica Harrison, Erica Arnet, Christian Garland, Dalton Mauro, Dalton Davis, Becky Jones, and Rikki Krejci with several of the actors stepping into multiple roles.
