Play reading


Play Reading takes place on Monday, Dec. 7, at 12:30 in the Senior Center Lounge.  This month’s play is Five Women Wearing the Same Dress by Alan Ball. Set in Knoxville, this comedy involves five very different women as bridesmaids in Tracy Marlowe-McClure’s wedding. The women all end up in a bedroom trying to escape the reception. As they start talking, they figure out none of them is friends with Tracy and  wonder why they are bridesmaids in the first place. Dissatisfied with their own lives, the women start to share personal issues and stories.

Plays may be picked up at the senior center one week prior to the date of the reading. Come, read a part, or just sit and listen. No acting experience is needed. All seniors are welcome. Call Andrea at 203-762-8445 for more information.
