A Read-It-Yourself Experience with Julie Jigour and David Landau
Ladies and gentlemen, step right up!
Within this tent are the fantastic and freakish human curiosities brought to you by Maximilian’s Museum of Nature’s Mistakes. Yes, it’s true. Mary and Jack Rowley have sold their younger daughter to the show that's come to town. And their older daughter is pretty concerned. Maybe there’s more grotesquerie outside the tent than in. Wouldn’t you like to find out? Perhaps you’d even like to join the show! On Saturday, February 23, the Mechanics’ Institute will hold a reading of Nature’s Mistakes, a drama-in-progress by local playwright Julie Jigour. And you, the members of Julie’s audience, will be invited to read the parts. Take a big part or a small one. Read for a page or a scene. Or just come to listen.
This is an opportunity for MI members to test, hone, or revive acting skills and be part of the creative process!
The afternoon is hosted by MI member David Landau, who has recently led writers’ workshops for the Harvard Club of San Francisco.
