Join vocalist Mimi McHale and her band, Second Wind, as they share the sounds of smooth jazz, blues, country and Latin rhythms. This close-knit ensemble, consisting of McHale, manager/guitarist Bill Tracy, bassist Dave Arliss, flautist/vocalist Cathy Mullarney and guitarist Bob Felter, has been performing in Auburn and the surrounding area for the past six years. The positive energy and good humor that flows between the band members when they’re performing creates a unique energy that fans really appreciate. APT is proud to welcome back Second Wind. 

Lynne Adams is quite marvelous. This is a fascinating exploration of a woman’s illusions and delusions, marriage and divorce, sexuality and duality, mother- hood and sisterhood, feminism and dynamism. It’s witty, wise, revealing, insightful, painful and totally engrossing. You couldn’t spend a better evening in the theater. – PARK LABREA NEWS
An engrossing, in-your-face female perspective on growing older amid society’s misguided expectations. Richly written and skillfully brought to life, this production does not berate society for its wrongs. Instead, it gives males insight (and even some identifycation), and allows females to chuckle and nod in agreement. – DAILY VARIETY
Written & Performed by Lynne Adams (star of Guiding Light)
Directed by Brooke Adams (Days of Heaven, Invasion of the Body Snatchers)
[Originally produced by Tony Shalhoub (Emmy Award Winner, MONK)]
