New book club flips the script

Chattanooga Theatre Centre, 400 River St., is launching a book club this month with a gathering to discuss the issues raised by Kenneth Lonergan’s play “Lobby Hero.”

Participants should read the script before the meeting, to be held at 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 22, in the Mainstage lobby. Each monthly meeting will discuss a play that addresses social issues.

“Lobby Hero” is the story of four New Yorkers in the midst of a murder investigation – a young security guard, his strict supervisor, a rookie cop and her unpredictable partner – who must face the consequences when emotions conflict with principles.

Meetings are free, but reservations are required at theatrecentre.com/current-productions (click on Order Tickets to reserve space). Communication about the book club will be through a private Facebook group (Chattanooga Theatre Centre Book Club). For more information, call the box office at 423-267-8534.
