Readers' Theatre Monday, April 25

The Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Arts Council’s Readers’ Theater Presents:

Comedy/Tragedy Night: Two One Act Plays

Kafka's Getting Married

Flame in the Mirror

by John Ruoff

Monday, April 25, 2011, 7 pm

Comedy/Tragedy Night is presented by playwright John Ruoff, one of the Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Arts Council’s Readers’ Theater’s talented readers. Ruoff has mixed comedy, tragedy, reality, and philosophy to create a pair of one-acts that will challenge the audience to listen and think as the readers present their interpretation of the playwright’s vision of life through a host of unusual characters, like Kafka in a graveyard conversing with giant rats. 

Join us Monday, March April 25 at 7 p.m. in the Ballinger Room at Shoreline Center for this night of contrasting plays. There is no admission charge.

Readers’ Theater productions are presented by a talented group of readers who are selected to work with the new play’s program. The reading will be followed by cookies, coffee, and a discussion with the cast, playwright and audience.
