Please join us at The Open Eye Theater for February Fantasia
Saturday, February 16 at 7:00pm or Sunday, February 17 at 3:00pm
Communities of the Western Catskills are invited to The Open Eye Theater's reading performance of "February Fantasia"-fifteen original stories and poems by New York State authors about love in its many forms. The performances are Saturday, February 16, at 7:00 pm, and Sunday, February 17, at 3:00 pm, at The Open Eye Theater, 960 Main Street, Margaretville.
"We wanted to do something special, relaxed, and fun as we start the downhill run to spring when love is surely in the air. We wanted to invite friends who visit us often, and those who have not seen the theater since it was rebuilt," remarked The Open Eye Theater producing artistic director Amie Brockway in making the announcement. "These are amusing and moving reflections on love such as "Pigs in Love," "Tiny Bundle," and "Hippie Love in Late Middle Age."
New York State authors include Teddy Slater, Wilma Mazo, Vern Vance, Alberts Verdesca, Joseph Kistner, Chris Rosenthal, Lewis Gardner, Edward Versailles, Joanne Joseph and Barbara Quintero. Some writers will read their own works. Other readers include Anita Vance, Fred Margulies, Beth Sherr, Bill Piervincenzi, Jason Frome and Laura Battelani. There is an opportunity for more readers to join the program, men and women of all ages. Phone 845-586-3101 if you'd like to participate.
There is no admission charge to "February Fantasia." Members of the Staff and Board of Trustees will greet guests, and some will appear on stage. The audience is invited to join in informal conversation with the writers and readers as they enjoy hot drinks and other light refreshments. There will be an opportunity for those who wish to contribute to The Open Eye Theater Matching Grant Roof Fund.
