It’s free, brand new and should be fun.
Journalist Bruce Murphy, a past winner of the Wisconsin Wrights playwriting contest, has written a new play, Wings of a Dove, a dramatic adaptation (with some comedy) of the novel by Henry James. One of its themes is quite contemporary: the wealth gap in the Edwardian Age.
The play will be given a reading by a cast of local actors directed by Maya Danks, who most recently directed the acclaimed production of Bug by The Constructivists theater company.
The cast includes Chloe Attala (playing Kate), Jake Badovski (Merton), Ashley Rodriguez (Milly) stacymadson (Maud), Matthew Scales (Lord Mark) and Amber Regan (Susan).
It will be read at 2 p.m. November 1, at the Pink Umbrella Theater, 1104 W. Historic Mitchell St.
Running time is under two hours.
And yes, it’s all free, though we are collecting donations for the talented performers.
Your RSVP would help as we need to set up chairs for enough people. Reply to rosbal@sbcglobal.net
