Ida LeClair in Down to the A&P

Written by Susan Poulin with Gordon Carlisle

Performed by Susan Poulin

Directed by David Kaye

Join Ida as she celebrates her fifty years as a cashier down to the A&P. She'll fill you in on how she got started, what keeps her coming back year after year and how she's feeling about that old question of retirement. Down to the A&P, there are lots of laughs, of course, and more drama and intrigue than you'd think. Heck, as the only supermarket in Mahoosuc Mills, everyone passes through, eccentric locals and wacky tourists alike. And Ida has a front row seat to all of it: the good, the bad and the ugly. Ida just loves the A&P, and you will, too!
