More than a dozen actors both near and far will take the virtual stage this weekend in a production inspired by the tragic loss of a local man.
Called “13 Suits: A Mother’s Monologues,” it follows what happens before and after the death of Patrick Duff, a Niskayuna native who was killed in a hit-and-run accident in 2015.
