It was a time before electricity and telephones, when the melody of fruit vendors cries and revival meetings filled the air and women did not yet have the vote. It s a story of humor and compassion, of adversity and character, and the inner strength, love and respect for one another that hold the family together as tragedy strikes once again. In the cast are Beverly Miller, Beth Kindle, Carrie Blake, Hannah Mello, Gretta Clough, Tom Santos, Julia Sloan and David Storrs. Directed by Terri Storrs. The Staged Reading Series is an excellent way for audiences to experience a wide variety of fascinating classical and original drama at the playhouse.
Actors sit in chairs facing the audience whose purpose is to hear the script.
The quickness of character development and involvement in situations is an exciting challenge for actors and audiences alike. Each reading has only two to four rehearsals with two performances scheduled for the weeks before and after this fall s main stage production, The Subject Was Roses.
