Pub Readings Are Back!

Join Colonial Players and friends at Harry Browne’s the first Sunday of each month in May, June, July, and August for the ever popular Pub Reading Series!

Ron Giddings will direct the first reading of the summer on Sunday, May 4, 2014 at 7:00 p.m. upstairs at Harry Browne’s on State Circle. Tigers Be Still, by Kim Rosenstock, tells the tale of Sherry Wickman, a young woman who has recently earned her masters degree in art therapy. Sherry finds herself moving back home with her family, sending out countless résumés and waiting for the job offer that never comes. Unemployed and overwhelmed, she retreats to her childhood bed and remains there until an unexpected employment opportunity gives her a renewed sense of purpose and hope. Now if only her mother would come downstairs, her sister would get off the couch, her very first therapy patient would do just one of his take-home assignments, her new boss would leave his gun at home, and someone would catch the tiger that escaped from the local zoo, everything would be just perfect.

Tigers Be Still will feature some of our favorite readers from last year along with some exciting newcomers:
