A community gathering to explore classic and/or provocative plays and share live music. Held in APL’s Downstairs Studio, each Salon is a unique and engaging assembly of Artists, Intellectuals, Provocateurs, Friends, and Family. We read, drink, eat, and let the discussion go where it will.

READERS
We distribute the play digitally. For the Salon, please bring your own printed copy or a device to view the file. We have wifi.
FOOD is potluck. Please bring a dish and/or drink to share. Theme according to the play… or not!
SEATING is ample, but feel free to bring a cushion if you prefer the floor.
LOCATION NOTE: Our location has a lot of stairs to navigate (15 just to enter) and, unfortunately, no current access options to avoid them.
SCHEDULE
4:00pm Arrivals. Mingling and food/drinks.
5:15-5:30pm Reading begins, to be followed by discussion.
10:00pm End time is a best guess. Leave when you need to; we allow the discussion to run its course.
We have some exciting announcements about our July 26 Sunday Salon reading of John Longenbaugh’s Noir thriller, The Sound in the Next Room!
The cast assembled for this reading is absolutely stellar:
EUCA/CLARICE – Alex Highsmith
MELANIE/LESLIE – Annie Paladino
CLEO – Emily Jo Testa
DANIELLE – Kate Kraay
Playwright John Longenbaugh will join us for the reading and discussion, as well.
If you haven’t already made plans for what promises to be a hot, midsummer Sunday, we hope you will join us for this great night of theatre and conversation. Registration information.

Each Salon is a unique, dynamic assembly of artists, intellectuals, provocateurs, friends, and family. We read, drink, eat, and — with minimal moderation — let discussion go where it will. As always, there is no charge to attend. But the event is potluck, so bring food or drink to share as you are able. RSVP requested.
We hope you will join us and contribute to the discussion at a Salon this year!
