At University of Alabama in Huntsville, there’s a 3 p.m. “Serial Mom” screening Friday and 5 p.m. Waters Q&A.

I learned so much in that year before it opened, what a Broadway show goes through before it flows and before it actually becomes the show, that then tours for the rest of eternity if you’re lucky.
