Mary Cattell Theatre

The Marigold by Joe Petrolis

The October Readers Theater will feature a staged reading of The Marigold, written by Joe Petrolis and directed by Linda Roberts. Stay after the performance for an audience discussion to help the playwright workshop the script for future productions.

Synopsis:

Martha, long denied the knowledge and existence of her biological father Frank, unites with him after a lifetime apart. But their new bond causes betrayals and secrets to surface that threaten to destroy his relationship with other family members. 

What is Readers Theatre?
Also known as concert readings, this format strips theatre down to its essence: actors, scripts, and storytelling. With scripts in hand and music stands in place, the spotlight shines on voice, expression, and character. It’s a powerful way to experience a play — and a golden opportunity for audience to comment on the work with the creative staff.
