Dear Friends and Community Members, The workshop reading of George Sapio's "The Viking Suicides" has been moved back to 8:30 p.m. start time on Friday, but *Saturday start remains at 7:30 p.m.* We hope you can join us for the public debut of this biting satire, which touches on themes of sexism, racism, child disempowerment, bad parenting, education system shortcoming, and the failures of society to its next generation. But you'll laugh, too!
*WHAT: *staged reading of *The Viking Suicides *by George Sapio (workshop production) *WHEN: FRIDAY, April 27, 8:30 p.m. (note late start time)* * SATURDAY, April 28, 7:30 p.m.* *WHERE: *Lifelong, 119 W Court Street, Ithaca NY <https://maps.google.com/?q=119+W+Court+Street,+Ithaca+NY&entry=gmail&source=g> (easy free parking on nearby streets if no spaces left in the parking lot) between Tioga and Cayuga Streets *WHO: *Over 16 (adult themes, although no physical violence, nudity, or sex) *WHY: *Well, you'll be the first audience in the world to see this play performed, and we expect it to go places. And because you love to be challenged, amused, and . . . blown away! *HOW MUCH: *$10 SUGGESTED at the door*, *your own finances permitting. No one ever turned away for inability to pay! All actors are paid a reasonable honorarium, whether we make enough money to cover it or end up out of pocket. *RUNNING TIME 88 MINUTES. *Because this is a workshop production, the first time an audience has heard the play, we are inviting you to stay for an extra 20 minutes to share your thoughts with the playwright in a structured feedback session. This is part of the formal workshop process in service of this new work. The playwright will take audience responses to his questions into consideration when making final revisions before sharing the script with potential production companies. *Maura Stephens *(Director) Bad Dog Productions For more information about sustainability in the Tompkins County area, please visit: http://www.sustainabletompkins.org/ If you have questions about this list please contact the list manager, Tom Shelley, at t...@cornell.edu.
