About This Book

A short comic stage piece centers on a village sewing circle of elderly women who meet to conduct society business, plan a donation for a recently bereaved clergyman, and share what they are thankful for on Thanksgiving. The scene follows the secretary reading minutes, members bicker and mishear one another, and a sequence of absurd gifts and schemes exposes rivalries, gossip, and small-town frugality. Costuming and stage directions frame the humor and timing for a lively half-hour domestic performance.
