Play Read Event: Community Garden

We had such a great kick off for our summer play reading series we hope you can join us next week for Justin Borak's "Community Garden". DATE: Wednesday, June 17 TIME: 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. WHERE: Theatre of the Arts Greenroom Synopsis: Newbie Ralph doesn’t quite know what to expect during his first volunteer shift at Chicago’s Uptown City Gardens. It’s certainly not the vibrant, bustling community that passes through the green space, checking on their plants, composting their food scraps, meeting up with friends and – surprisingly often – falling in love. After a few hours, Ralph begins to understand seasoned volunteer Donald’s claim that the garden is magic. In a series of heartfelt and humorous vignettes, Community Garden digs into the ways taking care of the environment helps people take care of each other. There are 18 roles, so we need at least 9 people to attend to help us read. Everyone is welcome - alumni, current students, incoming students. Bring a friend!
