Bay Area Stage

I just wanted to let you know about a play reading that’s coming up at City Lights Theatre in San Jose. The script is great, and as always, the readings are engaging and informative. Plus you get to give feedback in a short talk-back session following the reading – so you become part of the creative process!

I know life is busy, but if you have a little time I would love to see you there. More info below and at http://cltc.org/newplay.htm

WHAT:

Live staged reading of “Perpetual Motion”, a new script by Jack Richards.

PERPETUAL MOTION
By Jack Richards

A black man and a white boy join forces to escape from abuse and persecution on the streets of Chicago. Based on a true story, PERPETUAL MOTION was originally written for the stage, then adapted for the screen, and has now been re-adapted for the stage.

Since taking an early retirement from teaching English in college to concentrate on writing projects, Jack Richards has completed seven screenplays (all of which have either won or placed in screenwriting competitions), two stage plays, and a TV pilot. He has also published seven books and a reading series for public schools.
