Galena Center for the Arts is delighted to once again oer “table readings” of plays. These readings give the audience an opportunity to hear the text of a play out loud, with a discussion afterwards.

The first play in our new table reading series will be “Romance in D,” a comedy by James Sherman. Join us for this reading on May 11 at 7 pm. “Romance in D” introduces us to Charles, a musicologist, who lives in a Chicago apartment alone with his books and music, and Isabel, a heartbroken poet on the verge of a divorce, who moves in next door. Add in Isabel’s very concerned father, and Charles’ loving but overbearing mother, and it makes for surprising interactions.

The cast for “Romance in D” features Mike Blaum, Stephanie Bussan, Cathy Harms, and Robert Armstrong, and is directed by Carole Sullivan. There is no set ticket price for the play, but donations are encouraged. This program is partially sponsored by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council Agency.
