100 YEARS by Richard Dresser, a staged reading from Hudson Stage Company

 
SATURDAY, MARCH 17 at 8:00pm Staged reading of Richard Dresser’s (HSC’s PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS) new darkly comic “100 YEARS”, directed by Mark Shanahan (HSC’s HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES). Two couples from different parts of the country meet in a strange planned community in Florida.  They share a backyard and eventually much more as they prepare for a secret cutting-edge procedure that will change their lives forever.  100 YEARS is about people who believe they should never die.  Now they’re doing something about it.

Dresser’s plays have been produced in New York, regional theater, and Europe and include ROUNDING THIRD, and BELOW THE BELT.  He wrote the book for the musical JOHNNY BASEBALL and a bluegrass ghost musical, THE HOLLER.  Both appeared at the Williamstown Theater Festival with music by Rob and Willie Reale. $10 door donation. No reservations necessary. Featuring Denise Bessette, John Ottavino, Sean-Patrick Reilly, Rhonda Ross, Johnny Shea
