Turn up the Volume! Play Readings Series Continues with Sideman

A play reading at Seven Angels.

Seven Angels Theatre’s Turn Up The Volume! play reading series continues with Sideman, a great play by Warren Leight on Tuesday, April 17 at 7 p.m.  If you’ve never attended a play reading before, plan on having a lot of fun as local actors read the various parts of the play, followed with a lively conversation about Sideman. Bring your friends along for a great night out. Tickets only $10

A little about Sideman…An atmospheric and deeply personal memory play, Sideman is set in 1953 and travels through three decades. The story is told by Clifford, the only son of Gene, a talented but self-absorbed jazz trumpeter and his alcoholic wife Terry. As their marriage slowly dissolves, young Clifford is witness to it all. Alternating between their New York apartment and a smoke-filled music club, Clifford narrates the story of his broken family and the decline of jazz as popular entertainment at the dawn of the age of rock-and-roll.
Winner of the 1999 Tony Award for Best Play, and Pulitzer Prize finalist.
