Armchair Theatre - Evening at the Talk House

Join the NCEA for an Armchair Theatre reading of Evening at the Talk House. Simple supper at 6 p.m., reading starts at 7 p.m.
THE STORY: To celebrate the tenth anniversary of the opening of an unsuccessful play, the playwright, the leading actor, the producer, and various other members of the company get together at their former haunt, the Talk House. Most haven’t been there, or even seen each other, in years, and the gossip and nostalgia are mixed with questions and accusations. Why does a washed-up old actor keep getting beaten up by his friends? Where does a failed actress-turned-waitress disappear for months at a time? EVENING AT THE TALK HOUSE is a biting portrayal of people grasping to find their place in a world in which terror has become an accepted part of life. Is this the world we’re living in now?
Limited seats, RSVP by calling the NCEA at 508-325-4181.
