Just for fun

Meet Corky Quirk and some of the amazing bats of Northern California!

Playreaders do exactly what the name says:  it’s an interactive program where participants read aloud from plays, changing parts frequently so everyone gets a chance to bring theater to life. 

December’s play will be Turcaret by Alain-René Lesage.

Fraud, theft, extortion and sexual corruption are the themes in this eighteenth-century masterpiece. Sharp and brisk, it is generally accepted as one of the best of French comedies.  The Sunday Telegraph calls it “an unjustly neglected foreign classic”.

Help bring this comedic romp to life!
