A full day of free theatre for the community
Williamston Theatre, located at 122 S. Putnam Street in downtown Williamston, announces the line up for the 9th Annual ‘Giving Tuesday Play-A-Thon’ on Dec. 2nd.
Since 2017, Williamston Theatre has been celebrating Giving Tuesday in a unique way – by presenting a full day of staged readings of new plays. On Dec. 2nd the Williamston Theatre stage will be filled with storytelling with staged readings at 11:00 am, 3:00 pm, and 7:00 pm. No reservations are required. All three readings are free and open to the public.
11:00 am: Agatha Christie’s The Murder at the Vicarage - a Miss Marple Comic Mystery by Matthew Salazar-Thompson, adapted to the stage from the novel by Agatha Christie.
World renowned amateur detective Miss Jane Marple encounters a compelling murder mystery in her own sleepy little village of St. Mary Mead, where under the seemingly peaceful exterior of an English country village lurks intrigue, guilt, deception and death. Through her powers of observation, Miss Marple uncovers the hidden truths that her neighbors hold close. Five actors play over twenty-five characters in this comic mystery thriller from one of Agatha Christie's most beloved novels.
3:00 pm: Nacho Ate Spiderman by Michelle Kohlos Brooks, Nacho Ate Spiderman is a four-character, dark comedy about a sunny, laid-back, progressive beach community that becomes a lot darker when Nacho, a shaggy, good-natured, loving rescue dog, eats the neighbor’s award-winning, well-bred rabbit, Spiderman. Contains adult content and language.
7:00 pm: The One Good Thing or “Are Ya Patrick Swayze?” by Joe Bravaco. The One Good Thing or “Are Ya Patrick Swayze?” is a darkly funny and deeply moving exploration of brotherhood, grief, and the invisible forces that haunt us. With humor, pathos, and a touch of the supernatural, the play asks what we carry, what we bury, and what, if anything, we’re brave enough to leave behind. Contains adult content and language.
Actors featured in the readings throughout the day include Hallie Bee Bard, Steve DeBruyne, Leslie Hull, Brenda Lane, John Lepard, Emily Sutton-Smith, Ryan Patrick Welsh, and more to be announced.
