Hello, everyone. I've put together an announcement to publicize our first reading of the play on which we'll be working in this class. Please forward the information far and wide! We'd like to have as much community participation as possible. Please note that this won't be on campus, but at the Main Library, which I think is a more central location. I've included a map below, and information on how to get to the main library on the bus.
Saturday, October 2, 2010 at 12 noon
Centennial Room
in the basement of the Louisville Free Public Library,
Main Branch (on York between 3rd and 4th)
FREE and open to the public!
Community Reading
of Charles L. Mee’s
A Perfect Wedding
to be produced in the Theatre Arts Department
at the University of Louisville
in March 2011.
This reading is part of a course called “Acting, Performance and Community” at UofL. We are experimenting with a community-engaged rehearsal process to find ways of using our work on this play as a jumping-off point for community conversations about the issues it addresses, particularly marriage equality and cultural difference. The play is a comedy with some music and dancing, so the process should be fun**, but there are also darker moments and serious questions raised. Everyone is invited to participate after the reading in any way they wish: offer to be interviewed by one of the actors, attend one or more rehearsals and give feedback, follow and comment on our class blog, etc.
For more information, contact:
Dr. Amy Steiger, (502) 852-8446, amy.steiger@louisville.edu

**Please note: the play contains some sensitive language and content. You can read it in its entirety at www.charlesmee.com/html/perfectwedding.html
The Main library is in downtown Louisville at 301 York St, between 3rd and 4th:

If you're taking the bus, here's a link to the TARC website so you can plan a trip to the library on October 2.
WE HOPE TO SEE LOTS OF PEOPLE THERE! PLEASE COME!
