29 Readers' Theatre
Readers' theatre was developed as a convenient and effective means to present literary works in dramatic form, bringing scenes to life to entertain audiences. Actors do not memorize their lines; they read directly from scripts, using their voices, facial expressions and movements appropriate for their characters. The pure story is portrayed without the full impact of live theatrical elements such as sets, costumes, makeup, props, lighting effects, or memorization. A narrator typically describes the setting and action and provides commentary between scenes.Play to be announced. Minsky Recital Hall, 7:30pm

Scapin is Molière's 17th century comic masterpiece about love's follies and clever stratagems. Scapin is the wiley servant who dishes up what all cruel masters deserve: a dose of the other end of the stick! The character Scapin inspired Beaumarchais' famous Figaro, a servant too clever by far. In this tale of lovers in disguise, duped fathers and families torn asunder, there is something for everyone. Nov. 7- 8, 14-15, 7:30pm; Nov. 9 & 16, 2:00pm; Nov. 13, Noon (High School production).
