And a bond that connects four women who meet once a year for a photo shoot, chronicling their changing (and aging) selves as they navigate through love, careers, children, and major world events. But, when these private photographs have the potential to go public, their relationships are tested, forcing the women to confront who they are, what they鈥檝e become, and how they鈥檒l deal with whatever lies ahead. 20th Century Blues is the sharply funny and evocative new play by Susan Miller that questions our place in the world and with one another. </td> </tr> </table> </div></div> <table style="margin: 0;
