NEW PLAYS ALOUD : A group for playwrights and actors meeting monthly to read new works. Facilitated by playwright Kate Rich. 

This month: MALA by Melinda Lopez

"An utterly unsentimental journey towards the end of life, mala is an irreverent exploration of how we live, cope and survive in the moment. Grounded in Lopez’s distinctive emotional language and sharp humor, this powerful one-woman show dances between doctors and urgent 911 calls, a mother’s growing frailty, and a daughter’s quest for grace— all set during an epic boston winter. rather than depict a “right way”, the play opens the door for conversation in our universal struggle to support those we love in dying, especially when all we’ve ever focused on is surviving." 

Meeting: Saturday, September 30, 6:00 PM at the Pier One Theatre office - 332 E. Pioneer Ave. Suite #3 (above the Homer Bookstore) 

There is no fee to participate, just come read or listen!
