By The Book opens O.W.I.'s Second Saturday Reading Series

O.W.I. (Bureau of Theatre), a resident company at the Boston Center for the Arts, begins its second Spring/Summer season of play readings at the Roslindale Branch of the Boston Public Library. Each month from April to September O.W.I. will bring these free, public readings of new plays beginning on Saturday, April 8 with playwright Amy Merrill's BY THE BOOK, directed by Amy West.

BY THE BOOK is about a young immigrant's coming of age in late Twentieth Century America and the promise and limits of the America Dream. Set six months after Black Monday in 1987, recent immigrant George better find some new clients or he could be without a job in a story which signals the long, slow slide to the crash of 2008, twenty years later.
