new play read-through?

[ceelove.livejournal.com]

Hey, Davis Square. Five years ago, my musical Never After played at the Somerville Theatre; a couple of years ago, I invited you to a read/sing-through of another musical, Fire and Ice. Now I'm looking for readers for a NON-musical play, Twelve Nights.

To be done properly, it will require twelve readers, six female-presenting and six male-presenting (plus one for stage directions). There are no small roles, nor any big ones, really. I already know that I'll rewrite the play with six roles, as it's too unwieldy, but I believe it'll be fun for a read-through now regardless. If there's sufficient interest beyond twelve readers, I'll reserve a room at the library (as I did with Fire and Ice.

What's this play about? Friendship, sex, religion, and mid-life crises. It's a comedy of manners, a modern take on what happens when a love potion a la Midsummer Night's Dream sends a group of friends into a tailspin. I'm told that it's witty, interesting, and timely.

Comment or email me at ceelove [at] speakeasy (dot) net, and I'll get you a PDF of the Twelve Nights script.

When will you schedule this reading? is it just a one-night commitment? I'd be interested but my schedule is packed for the next 2-3 weeks. I'm not an actor, either, but this sounds fun.

It is just a one-night commitment, and I'm not an actor either either. I'm asking about the dates between Nov 8 and Dec 21 but figuring it's unlikely to happen in the first couple of weeks. Send me an email and I'll send you the script and a link to a Doodle poll about dates that work for you. Thanks! Oh, and I like your bunnypic.
