Play Reading on Feb. 8th

Half Moon will be doing a reading of the play "7 Stories" at Morton Library in Rhinecliff on Feb. 8th. This is a really funny and interesting play by Morris Panych. It takes place on a building ledge as a guy contemplates suicide. But trust me, it's very funny. We read the first half at Sunday Best a couple of months back and everyone loved it.
It's got a cast of seven (some playing multiple roles) of very talented local actors. And it's donation only - so it won't be a wallet drain either.
I'm really psyched to see what an audience thinks.

More Sunday Besting

Great readings this last Sunday. We all howled at "Tragedy: A Tragedy" by Will Eno - a satirical look at the media coverage of a disaster - in this case, SUNSET. My favorite line... The letter from the governor which reads, "Thank you for your confidence, which I will now betray."

We also read part of "7 Stories," a funny play in which a man stands on a ledge contemplating jumping, but can't get enough peace to do it. Next time, we'll look at "Is He Dead?" and a couple of other pieces as well as some new material.

We're all busy this month at Half Moon Theatre working on "Three Viewings" so our next gathering will be on December 7th. Hope you all drop by.

Sunday Best

This month's Sunday Best was held yesterday. We heard portions of Fuddy Meers by David Lindsay-Abaire and You Should Be So Lucky by Charles Busch. Both very funny and well read. We also got a chance to work on the upcoming reading of "Great Gatsby" and look at a piece for a "mommies salon" we want to do in the near future. As usual, great commitment and comments from all present. It's been wonderful to have this outlet to work on and hear new material and stuff Half Moon is interested in performing in upcoming seasons. Plus, where else would you get to see a young woman read the role of an escaped convict puppeteer?
