Wipe the sand off your feet and come in for a drink.Love is in the air at The Jack of Hearts Club, and you have one more night in paradise.
It’s the last night of the summer of 1963 at The Jack of Hearts Club, a rowdy Provincetown bar where a group of regulars gathers for their annual “So Long, Summer” cabaret send-off. Everyone’s here: community matriarch Dorothy, who runs the joint; her daughter Elizabeth, who’s steeling herself for the end of another summer romance; and wide-eyed piano player Sonny, who’s wrapping up his first season at The Jack of Hearts. As Elizabeth begins to imagine a life beyond the safe harbor of Provincetown, Sonny prepares to say goodbye to his first real friends. Everyone is trying to find where they belong.
This original musical tells a story about community, belonging, and the human need for connection. Featuring the rousing music and lyrics of Jon Richardson, THE JACK OF HEARTS CLUB will leave you humming into the night to the tune of unabashed queer joy.
