Tandem Reading Series: Haunted Kids!

Vampires aren’t the only things kids have to put up with these days! There are zombies, and elves and life’s unexpected knocks. Award-winning children’s author Chris Grabenstein reads from “The Smoky Corridor,” about a haunted school, joined by Louella San Juan and Elizabeth Catalano, both reading from works in progress about a haunted New York and about a girl who thinks she’s Nancy Drew. A panel discussion to follow on what’s so special about being haunted and why do publishers like it so much?

Admission: $5 or a story @ the door

present the U.S. premiere of

“Tosca e le altre due” (Tosca and The Two Downstairs),

a satirical, behind-the-scenes sister-story to Puccini’s “Tosca” as imagined by one of the wittiest and most admired Italian playwright and actresses, Franca Valeri. “Tosca e le altre due” shares the 19th century setting and events of the opera, but refracts them through two memorable women characters who share them from the outside.

The torture’s screams and scuffles are overheard from upstairs by the wife of the torturer (Iride played by Marta Mondelli) and the female doorkeeper of Palazzo Farnese (Emilia played by Laura Caparrotti) in Rome, where the interrogation is taking place. The play is a wry and humorous character study of these two women, outsiders, who are accidentally close to the passions and politics of the story.

The prologue will be acted in voice over by Rocco Sisto.

Set design is by Lucretia Moroni.
