Staged readings of three contemporary plays. Dubbed SUMMER ON THE PATIO, the series will include the plays MUD by Mara Irene Forns, a contemporary classic delving into poverty and emancipatory feminism that is ultimately undercut; IRONBOUND by Martyna Majok, an intimate story of an immigrant womans fight to survive in the United States; and THE PAVILION by Craig Wright, an existential treatise on ordinary life, rife with poetry and humor. Performances will be on Fridays for MUD, on Saturdays for IRONBOUND, and on Sundays for THE PAVILION. Full schedule is listed at www.theartistichome.org.
