Preview of Staged Reading of 'Twenty Tudor Terrace' at the Phoenix Stage Company
This is the first of eight staged readings of new plays that will be presented throughout the year.
Twenty Tudor Terrace is "a poignant and funny staged reading about a Jewish family who has moved to Ireland and is trying to find out to which culture they belong," director Lucia Dressel writes. The staged reading begins at 8:00pm on Friday, Feb. 28 at the theater on Rubber Avenue in Naugatuck. "After the show, a fabulously rare opportunity to meet and speak with the actors and the playwright who is coming from Canada and to offer feedback about the play itself!"
Some of the best actors in our community are on stage--James Wood, Sybil Haggard Chamberlin, Jim Buffone, Chris Evans, Jayme Clark Evans, Teresa Pandolfo and Donna Storms.
According to the Phoenix website, this is the first of eight staged readings of new plays that will be presented throughout the year.
Twenty Tudor Terrace, by Brian Richardson of Winnipeg MB, is a touching story of a Jewish family that emigrates to Dublin Ireland in 1907. The youngest daughter in the Jewish Family falls in love with a protestant man. This story is based on the life of the playwrights own Great-Grandparents.
The staged readings are a competition of sorts. They will ask for your feedback, as well as that of the actors, to decide which of these plays will be produced in full as part of the 2015 season.
