Join us at the Kelly Writers House (3805 Locust Walk) for a scene reading and discussion of Lorene Cary’s play Ladysitting, currently in its world premiere at the Arden Theatre. Playwright Lorene Cary will be joined by Melanye Finister, the actor playing Lorene in the Arden production, and Terrence Nolen, Arden’s Producing Artistic Director. After a scene reading/performance by Finister, the group will talk about the development of Ladysitting, including the challenges and pleasures of turning memoir into theater.
