We’re all more alike than we think, and Morro Bay’s By the Sea Productions finds the common thread that connects the lives and stories of a group of women living across the world in Seven.

The play, showing May 26 through 28, tells the true stories of seven women in seven countries (Nigeria, Guatemala, Russia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Cambodia, and Northern Ireland), who were victims of abuse or violence and went on to make changes in their countries because of it. Tickets are $10 per person and the show starts at 7 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and at 3 p.m. on Sunday. Visit bytheseaproductions.org to find out more.
