GAM appearing in "The Women Behind the Man..." stage reading 3/13 @CAC...

Yes, it's been a while so here is an official invitation to my upcoming stage reading for the Women Writers Series. Capital Classics Theatre Company, in partnership with The Carol Autorino Center at Saint Joseph College, will present professional staged readings of two new plays by Connecticut women writers: The Woman Behind the Man Behind the Podium Making the Apology byLaura Sheehan and Code Red or The Last Day at Dick High by Jeanne Zaino. 

The Women Writers Series will take place on Saturday, March 13, 2010 at 6:30 p.m. in The Carol Autorino Center at Saint Joseph College. The readings are free and open to the public. A wine and cheese reception will take place during intermission. Presented in staged reading format by an ensemble of professional actors. Audience members are invited to contribute to the development of the plays by offering feedback during a post-reading discussion moderated by Robert Smith, director of The Carol Autorino Center. 

The Woman Behind the Man Behind the Podium Making the Apology is a topical drama about a political marriage where the wife is forced to confront her philandering husband. She is guided in her journey by other political "wives" from history, including Hillary Clinton, Sally Hemings, Jackie Onassis and Carmella Soprano. The reading is directed by David Watson, associate professor of theater at the Hartt School of the University of Hartford.

Code Red or The Last Day at Dick High is a farce set in an American high school that is faced with the threat of student violence. The play takes a satirical look at the institutional leaders and systems intended to solve problems which ultimately make matters worse. It is directed by Michael Nowicki, a theater faculty member at the Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts and a professional actor and director.
