The Winter 2020 Reader’s Theater
February and March, 2020, promise some interesting one-act plays at the Guerneville Library.
The River Friends of the Library are presenting three plays each month.
• • • •
Wednesday, February 26 at 7 pm Saturday, February 29 at 2 pm Wednesday, March 25 at 7 pm Saturday, March 28 at 2 pm
February starts with “Designer What?” by local writer Christmas Leubrie, memories of halcyon days in S.F.; “Success Story” showcases the good, bad, and ugly, when you are a striving actor; and “The Lottery” is a famous, dystopian view of four leaf clovers, gone amok.
March opens with “Hipster Hobos” possibly set at Coffee Bazaar; “The Christmas Truce” is a reminder that most common people are innately good, even though their leaders may not be; we then have a special featured reading from local poet, Sashana Kane Proctor; and we close with, “Three Skeleton Key,”which is pure suspense.
