'A Kiss and Then Fade to Black' at Villagers Theatre

Villagers Theatre will begin this year's New Playwrights Series, a series of staged readings lasting March through June, with "A Kiss and then Fade to Black" by Jennifer Lubach this evening.

What happens when your body desires what your the mind doesn’t want it to consider? In this play, set in the dressing room of a community theater production, a 45-year-old woman and a 22-year-old man are both seeking resolutions to problems of the heart. The older woman is experiencing the first attraction she has ever had for a man younger than herself; the younger man has a crush on his best friend's girlfriend. The body and the mind of each have a face-to-face battle of wills.

The goal of the Villagers New Playwrights Series is to provide playwrights with an opportunity to glimpse the performance potential of their works in progress. Additional goals are to provide alternative performance opportunities for our local actors and directors and to expose our local audiences to new works.


The staged reading will begin at 8 p.m. this evening, March 14. Admission is free.

The staged readings will be held the third Monday of each month from now through June. The next staged reading, "Midcentury Modern" by Hal Corley, will take place April 18.

Villagers Theatre is located at 475 DeMott Lane, Somerset.
