This provocative play has been described as a combination of ‘Thelma and Louise’ and ‘The Grifters,’” said Dr. Jay Raphael. “’Visiting Mr. Green’ has been produced over 200 items and translated into 22 languages. The comedy is a touching and compelling story of friendship, family, and forgiveness,” Raphael said. $7 General Public $5 Students & Seniors
