  2018 the Reading of 
Edna's Closet by Bridget Ossmann
Smoking pot, murder, desecration of a corpse, $250,000, a blind woman driving a car, love, lies, deceit, a suit of fruit, and sex on the community table of an assisted living home are only a few of the antics of the three 80 year old tenants. Edna the Blind, Fish the Deaf, and Ginny the Religious Zealot strategize an elaborate plot from inside Edna’s Closet.
