“Comedy rules this season,” said Artistic Director Carole Schweid. Play readings will include, among others, a selection from “Small World,” the new Fred Stroppel play en route to Broadway, starring Scott Bryce as Walt Disney; Paul Rudnick’s “My Husband” and Rosemary Foley’s hilarious domestic comedy, “Leaving Her.”
“There will be some steamier selections as well,” Schweid added, including “Mexico City,” by Hannah Moscovitch, which Schweid describes as “a tale about the trials and unexpected revelations of traveling with your spouse – hidden in the back streets of exotic places.” Kitt Lavoie’s “Bank & Trust” will bring the financial crisis all too close to home.
