Amy Brenneman Tries to Figure it All Out at Tangletuit
July 29 | 7PM | Cotuit Center for the Arts
Celebrity? Activism? Family chaos? Personal growth that’s messier than your sock drawer? Amy Brenneman tackles it all — live, raw, and hilarious — in a one-night-only performance under the stars at Tangletuit, the outdoor stage at the John Weltman Performance Pavilion.
It’s funny. It’s poignant. It’s honest. (And yes, occasionally a little salty.)
Grab a ticket, settle in, and spend an extraordinary evening with one of television and stage’s brightest talents. You'll laugh. You'll reflect. You might even forgive yourself for not having it all figured out.
