The Mobtown Players are producing the latest play by Laurel resident and alumna Erica Smith ’03, theater. The play is entitled Come Out and Say It, and was chosen from among three by local playwrights which were given staged readings last fall by the Mobtown Playwrights Group (MPG), according to theater website BroadwayWorld Baltimore.

The synopsis given on The Mobtown Players’ website goes as follows:

“Five people. Four pros. Three murderers. Two lovers. One miscalculation. As Vale deals with the aftermath of a heist gone wrong, he sees his plans—and his life—fall apart before his eyes.  In Come Out and Say It, forgiveness is not quite as simple as it seems.”

The play’s run begins July 13th, and ends two weeks later on July 28th. Tickets can be purchased through Brown Paper Tickets here.
