Friday Staged Reading: Songs from Six
Songs from Six, by Toby Marlow & Lucy Moss, directed by Corinna Christman, is a modern retelling of the lives of the six wives of Henry VIII, presented in the form of a concert. The wives take turns telling their story to decide who suffered the most from their common husband, with each song in the style of a contemporary pop star.
Join us at Augustana Lutheran Church, 55th & Woodlawn.
