This is, of course, not my usual time to blog, but I didn't want anyone to miss hearing about the events this week at the theatre...
Monday night we had our monthly Readers Theatre and it was such a success! Playwright Stephen Blackburn allowed us to read his play, Rock of Abandon, this month. Described as "a noir murder mystery set in Ancient Athens, with Euripedes as the detective," Rock of Abandon was produced by Blackburn's company, Fierce Backbone, at the Lillian Theatre in L.A. last October for a one-month run. Mr. Blackburn requested that videotape our reading and feedback and send it to him, as he was unable to come in for the reading. It was such a fun, smart, and engrossing play, and making it an incubatory type experience really enhanced our monthly event. Our next Readers Theatre will take place on Sunday, February 24 at 7 pm, and we will turning our attention to Lee Blessing's Fortinbras. Try to make it - everyone: readers and listeners, have a great time!
Friday, we return to the second weekend of Albee's At Home at the Zoo. Audience members are collectively calling it "Excellent!" and we have more than a few patrons returning to see it again! Make your reservations or buy tickets online soon, though - this weekend is your last chance to see this intriguing pairing of related one-acts.
Until next week....
