Play: The Waverly Gallery
Playwright: Kenneth Lonergan
Synopsis: Gladys Green has run an art gallery in a small Greenwich Village hotel for years. Now the hotel’s management wants to replace the chatty, matriarchal left-leaning social activist’s less-than-thriving gallery with a coffee shop. Always irascible but 
now increasingly erratic as a victim of Alzheimer’s disease, Gladys is a cause of concern to her daughter, her son-in-law, and her grandson, from whose point of view this poignant memory play is told.

Tom Hall is both an amateur artist and aspiring novelist who writes art quest thrillers. He is in the final stages of completing his debut novel titled "Art Detective," a story that fictionalizes the discovery of the fabled billion-dollar Impressionist collection of Parisian art dealer Josse Bernheim-Jeune, thought by many to have perished during World War II when the collection's hiding place, Castle de Rastignac in southern France, was destroyed by the Wehrmacht in reprisal for attacks made by members of the Resistance operating in the area. A former tax attorney, Tom holds a bachelor's degree as well as both a juris doctorate and masters of laws in taxation from the University of Florida. Tom lives in Estero, Florida with his fiancee, Connie, and their four cats.
