Aglet Theatre's FIFTY WORDS Concludes 4/17

Aglet Theatre Company will present a staged reading of Michael Weller's searing marital drama "Fifty Words" on April 10 at Berkshire Theatre Festival's Unicorn Theatre and on April 17 at TriArts' Bok Gallery. Mr. Weller will be in attendance at BTF on April 10 to discuss the play as part of the post-show talkback!

Michael Weller has been a theatrical force ever since "Moonchildren" in 1972 summed up the restless fever of the 1960s, then followed by the bittersweet romance "Loose Ends." He is also the screenwriter for the films "Ragtime" and "Hair" and many others along with numerous teleplays.

We are pleased to offer you special complimentary refreshments for "The Art of Dining" along with an hour of wine-tasting. See below.
