Company Actor Members Rachel McPhee (currently in COSTA REHAB) and Lavita Shaurice (A Home Across the Ocean) are appearing in a reading of The Minervae, written by Steven Bost and directed by Dev Bondarin (A Home Across the Ocean). The Minervae is part of On the Square Productions' Developmental Series and will take place this upcoming Monday, November 7th at 8pm

The cast also features Marnie Schulenburg (Anaïs Nin Goes to Hell) among others.

Set in the dying days of the Roman Empire, The Minervae tells the story of one mythological goddess who refuses to move over for the fashionable new "cult" of Christianity. Jilted, Minerva sets out to re-convert the converted. Standing in her way are the schemes of the other Olympians: bitter Vulcan, volatile Mars, ambitious Apollo, and the enigmatic Diana. It's a titanic clash of faith vs. revelation, with mortal Man caught in between.

Company Actor Members Alex Bond, David Carson, Carol Hickey and founding member Antonio Miniño are appearing in a reading of DERBY DAY by Alex Bond, directed by David Carson. DERBY DAY will be read as part of the 2011 Fresh Fruit Fall Festival and is a one-time-only event taking place Sunday, November 5th at 2:30pm at the Jan Hus Theatre (351 E 74th Street, NY, NY 10021 [between 1st and 2nd Ave]).

Cecile and Lenore, best friends growing up in Louisville Kentucky, have returned to Louisville for the funeral of Carl Stuart Smith, Cecile's gay older brother. It is Derby weekend in Louisville and not a convenient time for anyone to have died. Cecile and Lenore are actually attending the funeral for reasons other than bereavement. As we get to know these ladies in their tiny motel room near the private airport, we learn that secrets have been carried for far too long and forgiveness is more easily spoken of than acted upon.

Joining the above mentioned cast is Susan G. Bob.


The reading is free and open to the public.
