“Summer of the Senator” by Racine Oxtoby

A staged play reading of *Summer of the Senator*, a new play by Racine Oxtoby, takes place Saturday, November 21, 2026, at 2:00 PM at the Truro Public Library in Truro. The Truro Playwright Collective presents the free reading, with actors performing with scripts in hand and no sets or costumes. The play imagines what five women went through the morning after a July 1969 beach party on Martha's Vineyard, where six women had gone and only five were left alive. It asks why their friend disappeared that night, after she was last seen getting into a car with a US senator, and whether the senator's staff are more interested in covering up what happened than in finding the truth.
