Dramatic Readers Needed Next Monday (and Beyond)

I am in need of actors/orators willing to read fairly lengthy excerpts from classic prose works—Greek mythology, turn-of-the-century European decadent works, etc.—for the January 7 “volume” of the new monthly storytelling/spoken word series I’m hosting at Café Nine. And if you’re not around January 7, then maybe Feb. 4, March 4, April 8 and beyond.

I have aleready invited some performers from local theater troupes whose work I know well to read for me. That’s working great. But I thought I really ought to open it to the theater community at large, so I can meet more local actors.

I’ve already selected some readings I’d like to see (hear) done on Monday. Just need the right people to put them across live.

There’s no money in it, alas—maybe I could buy you a drink? But it’s a really interesting stage on which to perform, and the crowd (it really was a crowd) at the inaugural edition last month was a terrific audience—appreciative and upbeat and up for anything.

If you’re interested in reciting something I’ve chosen for the Jan. 7 edition of Get to the Point! (8 to 10:30 p.m. at Café Nine, 250 State St., New Haven) or for a future edition (always the first Monday of the month), you can contact me directly at chris@scribblers.us
