Gav hosts
‘First Monday’
GILROY – Anyone who is interested in theater and hearing new plays is invited to attend a free play-reading event called ‘First Monday’ at Gavilan. The ‘First Monday’ series, new this semester, will feature the unstaged reading of a play on the first Monday of every month. The readings are free, and the public is invited to participate.
The October play will be Tony Kushner’s “Angels in America,” a play exploring many of the sexual, racial, religious, political and social issues of the 1980s. Chairs for the cast and audience will be set up in a circle on the stage, creating a participatory setting. The reading will be at 6:30 p.m. today, and the first Monday of every month when classes are in session, at the Gavilan College Theater, 5055 Santa Teresa Blvd.
Local playwrights are also invited to submit their plays for consideration. Actors are encouraged to participate, and the community may suggest plays for future readings.
