Tragedy has a way of bringing communities together. Riverwalk Theatre Co. explores this theme in its latest production, "The Women of Lockerbie," which follows the mother of a man who was killed in the Pan Am 103 terrorist attack of 1988. She travels to the crash site near the Scottish town of Lockerbie for a memorial service. There she meets a group of women petitioning to get the clothes of the victims in order to wash them and return them to grieving families. The play is loosely based on real life events. 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday; 2 p.m. Sunday. $13/$11 students, seniors and military. Riverwalk Theatre, 228 Museum Drive, Lansing. (517) 482-5700, riverwalktheatre.com.
