Table Read - Exit Laughing - Avalon Book Store :: Arts & Music

When the biggest highlight of your life for the past thirty years has been your weekly card night out with the girls, what do you do when one of your foursomes inconveniently dies? If you're Connie, Leona, and Millie, three southern ladies from Birmingham, you do the most daring thing you've ever done. You "borrow" the ashes from the funeral home for one last card game, and the wildest, most exciting night of their lives begins with a police raid, a stripper, laughs, and a whole new way of looking at all the fun you can have when you're truly living.
