Friday Staged Reading via Zoom

The Waste Land 
by T.S. Eliot

& Other Poems

Directed by: Marissa Tranquilli

Please join us for an evening of Eliot and poetry.  We will present a large cast reading of one of T.S. Eliot’s most famous works: The Waste Land.  It combines the legend of the Holy Grail and the Fisher King in vignettes of contemporary British society.  Following this production we will feature a collection of recitations from the cast, spanning many of Eliot’s other works and branching out into different poets. 

Friday September 4th, 8 pm  – Go to our Facebook page and like the event to receive the Zoom meeting info.
