The Pavilion by Craig Wright is a funny and heartfelt play about life, love, and second chances. At their 20-year high school reunion, Peter hopes to rekindle a lost romance with Kari, the girl he left behind. But old wounds, unresolved regrets, and the years between them stand in the way. With time catching up and a Narrator guiding the way, this poetic story explores how we grow, what we leave behind, and whether it's ever too late to begin again. Directed by Matt Ripa.
