Reader's Theater: Life is a Dream and Other Plays
Thursday, January 15, 2009 at 6:00 PM
Members' Room; $10 per person

In this group, participants will read aloud Pedro Calderón de la Barca's masterwork Life is a Dream and other plays under Rob Ackerman's guidance. Everyone who wishes to read will have an opportunity; good parts will be available for both genders. The idea is to bring the story to life in real time, and no theatrical experience is required. The stated fee will cover the cost of providing copies of the plays, which will be available to participants at each session.
