This Sunday @ 7pm: Play Reading + MORE @ Chatham Community Players

 

Sundays @ 7 presents ELEEMONSYNARY Nov. 19 @ 7:00 pm Only $5 and BYOB!     The Chatham Community Players is excited to present Lee Blessing’s Eleemosynary as a part of their successful Play Reading Series. One Night ONLY – Sunday, November 19, 2023, at 7:00 at the Chatham Playhouse, 23 North Passaic Avenue, in Chatham. Alyson Halter directs. The play probes into the delicate relationship of three singular women: the grandmother, Dorothea, who has sought to assert her independence through strong-willed eccentricity; her brilliant daughter, Artie (Artemis), who has fled the stifling domination of her mother; and Artie’s daughter, Echo, a child of exceptional intellect—and sensitivity—whom Artie has abandoned to an upbringing by Dorothea.     MORE DETAILS, PLEASE     Auditions for Tony Award- Winning THE BEAUTY QUEEN OF LEENANE Sun., December 3, 6pm Mon., December 4, 7pm     The Chatham Players will hold auditions for THE BEAUTY QUEEN OF LEENANE by Martin McDonagh on Sunday, December 3rd, at 6pm and Monday, December 4th, at 7pm at The Chatham Playhouse 23 North Passaic Ave. Chatham. Actors must check in to the auditions by 7:30pm. Production dates are March 1 - 16, 2024. Bill Purdy directs. Set in the mountains of Connemara, County Galway, THE BEAUTY QUEEN OF LEENANE tells the darkly comic tale of Maureen Folan, a plain and lonely woman in her early forties, and Mag, her manipulative aging mother, whose interference in Maureen’s first and possibly final chance of a loving relationship sets in motion a train of events that leads inexorably towards the play’s terrifying dénouement.   DETAILS, SIDES and MORE!     Something Musical & New at The Chatham Playhouse WINTER CABARET WEEKEND December 8 & 9, 2023     December 8 & 9, 2023 $20 per person Doors open 7:00 pm Music begins 7:30 pm Warm up your December with good music and good cheer!
