Combine the arc of personal growth with a fish-out-of-water story, and add the tension and humor of an odd-couple narrative, and you’ll have something similar to Grace & Glorie. Performed by arrangement with Concord Theatricals, this two-act play by Tom Ziegler places the title characters into an unlikely alliance. Grace, a 90-year-old cantankerous cancer patient, returns to her Virginia homestead to die alone. Her Harvard-educated, New York-transplant, volunteer hospice worker Glorie is running from a past she can’t escape. Their connection produces new perspectives on the ups and downs of life and death.
Friday 1/24–Sunday 1/26. $15–20, times vary. Victory Hall Theater, 401 Valley St., Scottsville. svilleartsandnature.square.site
