The Octette Bridge Club

University of Wisconsin-Superior Theatre presents an all-alumni production of The Octette Bridge Club. Performances, directed by UW-Superior alumna and current associate professor and director of theater at the College of St. Scholastica Merry Vaughan, take place Nov. 12, 13, 19 and 20 at 7:30 p.m. and Nov. 14 and 21 at 2 p.m.

Written by P.J. Barry, The Octette Bridge Club follows eight sisters who meet to play bridge every other Friday evening. They have taken different paths in life, but their core family relationship bonds them together and the audience gets to glimpse where those bonds have taken them during two different evenings in October 1934 and ten years later in October 1944.

The cast members attended UW-Superior in the 1970s, ’80s, ’90s and 2000s.
