"Do Not Go Gentle" is a one-act play described as both a drama and a comedy. Inspired by Welsh poet Dylan Thomas' poem of the same name and written by Suzan Zeder, the play centers around Lillian Boedecker Barron, who is 84 years old, vibrant, funny, wise ... and recently deceased. During her lifetime, Lillian shared a special, long-distance bond with her granddaughter, Kelly, and suffered an estrangement from her son Windsor, a colonel in the Air Force. After her death, Lillian discovers that she cannot "move on" until the rifts are somehow mended. When the two come to set Lillian's affairs in order, they make "astonishing discoveries" about Lillian and themselves.

General manager Joel Soukkala said the community theater is excited once again to have an in-person audience. "Even though we can only seat about 40 people per night, having our patrons back makes each performance that much more special," he said, adding that social distancing and masks are required.
