Williamston Theatre to premiere new play ‘Bad Books’ on April 23rd
Williamston Theatre, located at 122 S. Putnam Street in downtown Williamston, will present Bad Books by Sharyn Rothstein. Performances for this National New Play Network Rolling Premiere begin Thursday, April 23 and run through Sunday, May 31. Tickets are now on sale.
Some conversations don’t stay quiet – even in a library. What begins as a concerned mother’s inquiry about a book her son received from the library elevates into an unexpected debate with the town’s devoted librarian. As tensions rise, the consequences grow much larger than either of them anticipated. Sharp, witty, and deeply human, Bad Books explores the complicated questions behind censorship, book bans, and who decides what stories belong on the shelf.
Bad Books runs for six weeks only. The first four performances are Preview performances - Thursday and Friday at 7:30PM, Saturday and Sunday at 2:00PM. The schedule for the remaining four weeks - Thursday at 2:00PM, Friday at 7:30PM, Saturday at 2:00PM and 7:30PM, Sunday at 2:00PM. The Official Opening Night is Friday, May 1. Conversation Sunday is Sunday, May 17, immediately following the 2:00PM performance. Visit our website for more information about Previews and Conversation Sunday.
