Seven Angels Theatre Announces Turn Up the Volume Year Two
The Turn Up the Volume Play Reading Series continues at Seven Angels
The Turn Up The Volume! play reading series at Seven Angels Theatre has been announced for 2011-12.
Great plays are meant to do more than entertain. They create awareness and bring on dialogue. And since audiences are hungry to talk, Seven Angels Theatre continues this series of play readings to generate “an opportunity for conversation.” With an award-winning collection of plays with topical themes and interesting characters, not only will they give voice to some great works of dramatic literature — they will offer you the chance to get involved in a post reading discussion.
Come and join the group to watch, listen, and enjoy a dynamic reading by a cast of talented local actors. Immediately following the stage reading, everyone’s invited to participate in a post performance discussion; whether it’s a conversation or debate about the play’s themes, characters and point of view. The post performance discussion continues the “dialogue” ….reaching beyond the footlights and extending to a conversation with our community.

Time Stands Still
by Donald Margulies
November 15 at 7 PM
Time Stands Still is a compelling, contemporary drama. It tells the story of James and Sarah, a foreign correspondent and a photojournalist who cover stories about the horrors of war. But when they are injured, they must figure out if they are able to live a normal, quiet life back in the U.S. The new play explores the relationship between two couples at a crucial juncture in their lives, when the desire to move forward clashes with the instinct to stay comfortably — or even uncomfortably — in place. The play also poses some interesting and tough questions for the audience to consider. For example, how can anyone photograph maimed children, even if it’s a journalist’s responsibility, rather than rush to their aid?
