Anne Pie's New Comedy SEE ALICE RUN Set for Little Theatre of Manchester Readings Series
Wethersfield playwright Anne Pié, whose playwriting credits include Wild Mushrooms; Front Street; Sing, Virgie, Sing; and The Remarkable Thing About Stardust, brings her new comedy to Little Theatre of Manchester's Evenings@7 playreading series.
A staged reading of See Alice Run will be at 7:00 p.m. on October 11, 2016, in the Silk Room at Cheney Hall, 177 Hartford Road in Manchester. The event is free, although donations to support this type of work are gladly accepted.
A "fun, touching, slightly naughty and just plain funny" play, See Alice Run introduces brothers Randy and Sherman, who couldn't be more opposite. Randy is gay and flamboyant, while Sherman is uptight and sees life in black and white. Randy realizes that he and Sherman are the last of their line. One of them MUST have a child to carry on the family name. Randy is physically unable; so he coerces Sherman into fulfilling this duty. However, Sherman has a rare physical abnormality and he will require chemical assistance. Enter Alice Perkins. She wants a baby, and the brothers need one. The result is hilarious chaos!

Evenings@7 offers FREE presentations of intimate script-in-hand play readings. Open to the public, these ONE-NIGHT ONLY performances are part of Little Theatre's mission to develop art and artists. This series, featuring both established plays and musicals and new works, enables local talent to grow in their craft by performing for live audiences in a casual atmosphere with minimal production elements.
The final 2016 Evenings@7 performance, scheduled for November 15, is August: Osage County by Tracy Letts and produced by Linda Ferreira.
The Little Theatre of Manchester (LTM) was founded in 1960 for the purpose of producing community theater. Since its inception, LTM's volunteers have put on more than 650 quality performances that have been well-received and applauded by various members of the community. In the 1980s, the Little Theatre worked with the Town of Manchester in restoring Cheney Hall. In 1991, the extensive, award-winning restoration was completed and the state's oldest operating theater became the theatrical residence of the Little Theatre of Manchester. Today, programming is comprised of five main-stage theatre productions, numerous concerts, special events, and a range of other cultural, business, civic, and private functions. The Little Theatre is proud to serve a growing, annual audience of approximately 10,000.
