Included in the cast of THE BOOK OF DAVID is Jayne Atkinson (24), Kevin O’Rourke, Matthew Arkin, Lori Wilner, and Kate Levy.
About the play: “What If? Are there interrupted moments in your life which determined the person you are today? What if those moments had evolved differently? Would you dare revisit them? One man's attempt to revise a single pivotal choice in his past, creates an avalanche of effects on his present.” Says Joe Cacaci, co-Artistic Director, “We had wanted to do THE BOOK OF DAVID as part of the summer reading series, but, for a variety of reasons, we were just not able to make it happen. How fortunate that we had, not only an overwhelming demand to continue our series, but the support of sponsors to allow us to present readings into the Fall. ”
The Berkshire Playwrights Lab will feature a brief question and answer session with the playwright and director following the reading.
As always with the reading series, admission is FREE and open to the public. Information is available through the Mahaiwe Box Office: Hours: Tuesday thru Saturday 12noon – 6pm; 3 hrs prior to all show times - call 413-528-0100 - online at http://www.mahaiwe.org.
