NEW  PLAY READING GROUP: MODERN AMERICAN JEWISH PLAYWRIGHTS
The Mezzanine Reading Room at the Port Washington Public Library

May 9 & 23, June 13 & 20  I  7:45 pm – 9:00 pm
Reading a play aloud around a table brings out qualities you just can’t get by reading it silently by yourself. We’ll start with All My Sons, a less- well-known play by Arthur MillerWe’ll discuss the work as little or as much as the group desires. Our goal is to enjoy the play as a piece of theater, not as a literary text. Please bring a copy of the play to our first meeting. Sources for free ones can be found online.

The group will be led by Marilyn Oser and Jon Brooks, both members of TBI.
