Catch This: NCTC's Pipeline Reading Series

If you enjoyed this month's cover story about New Century Theatre Company at all, you might want to check out the group's monthly play reading series, Pipeline, which kicks off a new season tonight at Solo Bar at 7:30pm.

Tonight features playwright Susan Stanton, who wrote an original play for three of NCTC's company members: MJ Sieber, Betsy Schwartz and Michael Patten. Working from a series of twenty questions and answers these actors provided (again - if you enjoyed our chain letter interview with the group, this may be worth exploring), she came up with a piece that is currently untitled.

Witnessing artists as they experiment and engage with work in its nascent stages can sometimes be more interesting than seeing the polished final product.

Another bonus? Admission is free.

Although donations are accepted.

And if you can't make it tonight, mark your calendar for one of three future readings already scheduled. Details available on the NCTC Web site.
