‘Walter Cronkite’ play dates, times and ticket info
Play: Walter Cronkite Is Dead
Playwright: Joe Caraco
Synopsis: The show is set at Reagan National Airport in Washington, D.C., where a fierce thunderstorm has shut down airports up and down the East Coast. Patty and Margaret 
are stuck in a waiting area at Reagan National and it quickly becomes clear that the two have nothing in common. Patty’s a chatty southerner—a blue-collar woman from a red state who is almost physically unable to tolerate silence. Margaret’s a Washingtonian – reserved, educated, liberal and not interested in sharing her thoughts, or her table, with Patty. Forced together for a long 
night in a public place, the two strangers have no choice but to share a bottle of wine and begin to talk…and to listen.

About the Author
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.
