A special Front Porch Theater reading of Clifford Odets’ play “Paradise Lost” is being hosted at History House (709 N. 34th St) this Wednesday, March 24, at 6:00 p.m. The free event is open to the public and is an interactive and entertaining reading of Intiman Theatre‘s 2010 season-opening play.
Front Porch Theater is an ongoing, county-wide series in which scenes from classic plays are read out loud by volunteer readers, followed by a moderated conversation (open to all attendees) about how the story and its ideas resonate today.
There will also be a raffle to win a pair of tickets to see Intiman’s staged production of the play, which is running now through April 25.
“Paradise Lost” is a rarely produced 1930s drama that follows a middle-class family in the early days of the Great Depression when “gangsters, dreamers, agitators and idealists were the people who formed the hopeful heart of the American Dream.”
