In Alexandra’s corner are her wit, her volcanic passion, and the fact that she’s barricaded herself in her Brooklyn brownstone with enough Molotov cocktails to take out the block. But her children have their own secret weapon: estranged son Chris, who returns after 20 years, crawls through Alexandra’s second-floor window and becomes the family’s unlikely mediator. No sooner are the words “Hi, Mom” uttered than the emotional bombs start detonating. THE VELOCITY OF AUTUMN is a wickedly funny and wonderfully touching discovery of the fragility and ferocity of life.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">Makeshift Theatre</div><div style="text-align: center; " dir="" data-setdir="true">833 Carroll Street Akron </div></div><div style="text-align: center; " dir="" data-setdir="true"><br></div><div style="text-align: center; " dir="" data-setdir="true">All Tickets are $5.
