​
THE BOOKSTORE
by Adam Szymkowicz
Directed by Hallie Flower


The future of an almost magical bookstore is uncertain after its eccentric owner dies and leaves it to her niece, Rachel. But Rachel doesn’t have the time or the patience to run a bookstore. Her manager, Candace, her employees, and their devoted customers are desperate to keep this fantastical haven as it is. Real estate magnate Max Brewer is keen to turn the building into luxury apartments. Rachel must decide if she can say no to more money than she ever thought possible, what to do about her life back home, and whether you can put a price on a beloved community.
