LIBRARY NOTES
Rob Ackerman
American Family Drama
Thursday, March 22, 2007 at 6:00 PM
Members' Room
In this Reading Group, participants will read the play aloud under Mr. Ackerman's guidance. Parts will be assigned by lottery, and everyone who wishes to read will have an opportunity. The idea is to bring the story to life in real time; no theatrical experience is required and there is no need to perform.
Plays for discussion:
- March 22, 2007: Ancestral Voices by A.R. Gurney
- April 19, 2007: Loons by Rob Ackerman
- May 17, 2007: The Trip to Bountiful by Horton Foote
Copies of the Gurney and Foote plays will be made available for purchase from the Events Office. Mr. Ackerman's own play Loons has not yet been published; copies will be distributed at the April 19 meeting.
Rob Ackerman is a widely produced playwright whose works include Origin of the Species, made into an award-winning independent film, and Tabletop, which received a 2001 Drama Desk Award.
