    Photos from An Accident: First Readthrough

    Yesterday was First Day for An Accident, the fourth and final show in our 2009/2010 season. It’s a stirring play about recovery and forgiveness written by playwright Lydia Stryk. The cast and crew gathered in the Lounge for some light breakfast and heavy reading, as well as some artistic presentations from our stellar gang of designers. Sound like a morning well spent? Don’t worry if you missed it; I took pictures for the folks at home.

      The play was very thought provoking, enjoyable and funny. We, my husband and I, quite enjoyed it. The actors played their parts very convincingly. Great play!
