3.5 stars

In 1972 Alice Haze (nee Allison) sneaks out of her dorm in her strict, all girls college campus to see a play in New York City. She doesn’t know it is created and performed by a legendary experimental theatre troupe, Theatre Negative. She is hooked and begins leaving school to attend open rehearsals, which gets her in major trouble. Soon she has left everything she knows to become a part of their art.

In 1996, Ali is teaching theatre in a private school in Los Angeles when she believes someone from the group has found her. Who is it and what does she have to fear?

Really enjoyed this book. I liked that we are seeing the troupe after their heyday has past and I enjoyed the way the personalities are presented. Allison is an intriguing character and the entire scene was fascinating. Feel good about rounding to four stars.
