A community gathering to explore classic and/or provocative plays and share live music. Held in APL’s new 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.
Details for January 25
THE PLAY
The Pleasure and Sorrow of Your Company examines the effects of drone warfare both at home and abroad. The drama unfolds as the tapestry of one couple’s relationship unravels and a crucial mistake renders lives in jeopardy.
An initial draft of this work was created during an extension of the ACT Theatre Intermediate Playwriting group led by Stephanie Timm.
