Off the Press Series
|
Presented for adults and older teens at the Elgood Theater, these informal staged readings include some of the latest plays from Broadway, Off-Broadway and the American Regional Theatre. These thought-provoking, gutsy plays are by some of theatre's newest playwrights - plays just "off the press." Each admission includes the staged reading, a talk-back with artists and light refreshments.

OFF THE PRESS SERIES SPECIAL EVENT
Sunday, August 1, 6:00 pm • Written by Peter Sinn Nachtrieb
In this explosive comedy about the end of the world, Jo, a journalism student, and Jules, a marine biologist, meet in a subterranean biology lab when she responds to his online personal ad. But when a major global catastrophic event strikes the planet, their date takes on evolutionary significance and the fate of humanity hangs in the balance. Will they survive? What's going on in the fish tank? And who is that woman, Barbara, pulling levers in the corner?
“Mr. Nachtrieb has a gift for darkly funny dialogue and an appealing way of approaching big themes sideways. [boom] winds up speaking, quietly and piquantly, to our enduring fascination with a need for myths about the beginning of life as well as its end."-The New York Times
NOTE: This staged reading includes explicit language and could be offensive to some viewers.
