Villager's Theatre will hold a staged reading of their first piece in their New Playwrights Series, Ann Hirsch's "But I'm Not Complaining."The reading will take place at the theater at 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 9. Admission is free.
Fenster is a senior citizen who finds herself marginalized as an older adult. She fights depression with caustic wit as she tells her often comic, sometimes tragic story directly to the audience. Fenster meets various characters along the way- a relative who is a want-to-be aristocrat; a little person who's daughter cooks with too much spice; a long-lived gentleman whose life would be fine if he could only find his teeth; and more. The more Fenster reveals of herself, the more we feel for her. Through self searching and observing others, Fenster is, in the end, triumphant.
The reading is directed by Luana Jones, and stars Terrie Copeland, Daniel Pino, and Kristin Clapcich.
