Reading of a New Work
Thursday, September 21, 7:30pm

A biographical story of a gifted, mature actress whose life spans decades of real history, from her youth during the Depression through the turn of the 21st century. Marriage, children, divorce and rebirth of the dream of being an actress bring her to the act of reminiscing as she attempts to put prices on the pieces of her life as she plans for a Barn Sale. Filled with humor and pathos, we travel with her as she plans a significant life change, while reminiscing certain episodes in her past. Based on the life of the mother of one of Black Box Lab’s founders and producers, Patricia Peterson Jamison.
 
CAST:  
 
Donna Sorbello (AEA)
Bill Mootos  (AEA)
Kristina Stevick (AEA)
 
 
We will be combining the reading with a reprise of the Boston production of Homebody with Equity Actress Debra Wise that same weekend.  The overarching theme of the theatrical events is "Second Chances". 
 
Written by award-winning Director of Zeitgeist Stage, David Miller.
