Visiting Mr. Green at Greystone Theatre

A play reading.

Mr. Green, an elderly, retired dry cleaner, wanders into New Tork traffic and is almost hit by a car driven by Ross Gardiner, a 29-year-old corporate executive. The young man is sentenced to community service, helping the recent widower once a week for six months. What starts as a comedy about two men who do not want to be in the same room together, becomes a gripping and moving drama as they get to know each other, come to care about each other, and open old wounds they’ve been hiding and nursing for years.

This reading will be presented in the beautiful theatre at the historic Greystone Mansion.

The cast includes Mike Burstyn, the beloved star of the Kuni Lemel film series and Broadway (Barnum, Ain’t Broadway Grand, The Megilla of Itzik Manger) and Steven Schub (The Chicago 8, CBGB, 24).

Howard Teichman, the Artistic Director of West Coast Jewish Theatre, directs the reading.

Jeff Baron is the playwright.
