Join us for **The Cut**, a gripping and thought-provoking drama about an expectant couple whose disagreement over a deeply personal decision for their unborn child sparks a powerful confrontation over faith, identity, love and the challenges of building a future together when fundamental beliefs collide. After the play, there will be an interesting 20-minute talkback! ***Our group will save nearly 60% off the regular price! We'll be seated in Tier 2 Rows L to R @ $35 all fees included (regular $81.35 all in).*** ***CLICK ON "Read More" BELOW FOR FULL DETAILS.*** **The Show:** As Sarah and Drew prepare their nursery for the arrival of their first child, what should be a joyful time of anticipation takes an unexpected turn. A seemingly simple conversation exposes long-buried tensions, unspoken regrets and the profound differences in their upbringings. As emotions intensify and deeply held convictions are challenged, the couple must confront difficult questions about family traditions, personal choices and the compromises required to sustain a relationship. Set entirely within the intimate confines of their baby's nursery, *The Cut* explores what happens when two people who love each other discover that love alone may not be enough to bridge their differences.
