Second Saturday Reading Series Begins at the Strand
By: Gabrielle Sierra Jul. 29, 2011
With funding from the Station North Arts and Entertainment District Second Saturdays, the Strand Theater Company presents their first annual Second Saturday Reading Series. The Reading Series will give one new playwright each month, a chance to have their work produced for an audience. The series will be FREE to the public, and audience members will be asked to provide feedback to the playwright.
This month's play (Saturday, August 13th at 7pm):The Milwood Elementary School PTA by Sharon Goldner
At the heart of every elementary school lies the PTA, the Parent/Teacher Association, and Milwood Elementary is no different. Typically, PTAs are responsible for bake sales and candy sales and sponsoring a feel good sentiment for its school. It is a way for parents to volunteer and feel like they are a part of their children's education. But get a bunch of estrogen card-carrying members who are power hungry, bitch-wielding broads, and you have the behind-the-scene antics at Milwood Elementary's PTA. Funny, absurd, and scary, don't cross these women unless you have eyes in the back of your head!About Sharon Goldner: Sharon Goldner's award-winning plays have had productions and readings at: Manhattan Repertory Theatre; NYC's Short Play Lab; NYC Downtown Urban Theater Festival; Run of the Mill Theater; North Avenue Play Series; The Women's Theater Project; Avatar Theater and the Baltimore Playwrights Festival. She is a 3-time Pushcart Prize nominee, and a member of the Dramatists Guild.
The Strand's Second Saturday Reading Series is brought to you in part by the Station North Arts "Second Saturday' Program. The series is partially funded by a grant from the Baltimore Community Foundation.
