As part of our celebration of 50 years of The Warehouse Theatre we are spotlighting productions from our past and giving audiences another chance at seeing these seminal works. These are one night only fundraisers that will capture the spirit of putting up a show incredibly quickly. Each reading will feature the talented actors you've come to know and love reading from the script itself. For the anniversary we want to feature both the power of hearing a script out loud combined with the natural power and talent of our acting pool. You won't want to miss these once in 50 years celebrations.
The third reading will be D.L Coburn's THE GIN GAME. We can't tell the story of The Warehouse without highlighting two of our favorite artists: Mimi Wyche and Chip Egan. These two last appeared on stage in our stunning ALL MY SONS, and of course no one who was fortunate enough to see it could ever forget their performances in our incredible production of WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF. This play puts them at odds again, where sparks will fly as they compete both in gin and in stories about their lives. The play won the Pulitzer Prize in 1978, was produced at The Warehouse in the 1982-83 season. It has long been a showcase for powerhouse acting featuring the best actors in their prime. Directed by Shelley Butler (KILL CORP, THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE) this is an event you will not want to miss. One night only, all proceeds going to support the next 50 years of Intense, Intimate, and Unexpected theater you can only find at The Warehouse.
Tickets for these readings can be purchased online and are I-Pay-What-I-Can with a suggested donation of $15 per ticket.
