 Play readings followed by Q&As.
Theatre Forty’s popular series of Monday Night Theatre Appreciation Seminars is resuming. There will be play readings on Mondays, located in Theatre 40’s main venue, the Mary Levin Cutler Theatre on the first floor of 241 S. Moreno Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90212. The theatre is on the campus of Beverly Hills High School. There is ample free parking beneath the theatre. Parking can be accessed via a driveway at the intersection of Durant and Moreno Drives. All events are at 7 p.m. Admission is a suggested donation of $10. Each reading will be followed by a brief question-and-answer period.
Here's the schedule:
January 26- A Picasso by Jeffrey Hatcher. A Nazi agent summons Pablo Picasso to a storage vault for an interrogation. A battle of wits ensues
February 2- Address Unknown by Katherine Kressmann Taylor. A play told in letters. Two friends are torn apart when the Nazi regime rises to power.
February 9 - Double Feature by John Logan. Two parallel scenes unfold: Vincent Price argues with the director of his latest horror film/Alfred Hitchcock summons Tipi Hedren to a private meeting.
February 23- Bad Jews by Joshua Harmon. The death of a beloved grandfather brings together three relatives and one outsider. The ownership of Grandfather's chai becomes a dangerously divisive issue.
From the author of Significant Other, which was presented in last year’s Seminar Series.
March 2 - Bull in a China Shop by Bryna Turner. Inspired by the letters of Mary Wooley and Jeanette Marks. Two lovers with very different ideas of revolution work at a woman's college. A comedy.
March 16 - A Mirror by Sam Holcroft. We appear to be watching a wedding. But this is a cover for...something else. Then more layers of reality get peeled away. A play about censorship and its consequences.
This series is curated by Dan Leslie.
