(DOVER, NJ) -- Tri-State Actors Theater will present two readings of To Trample The Dragon, a new work by by Peter Mitsopoulos. The readings will take place June 28-29 at 8:00pm in the Dover Little Theatre. This is a play that touches the loss we have all known, and the love that helps us survive. Admission is by donation.
The play is set in Brooklyn 1958 and Anna McCarthy is losing things. Her business, the Anna Goanna Hair Salon, has lost customers. She may also lose her lease. She has nearly lost her relationship with her daughter, Dora, and even lose the love of Joe Franelli, the widower who owns a nearby bakery. These losses stem from the one thing Anna refuses to lose: her connection to her other daughter, Katie, who was never born: medical complications forced Anna’s husband to choose between Katie’s life and his wife’s. But Anna still clings to the lost Katie, always present. Never born, but with a sense of humor and a mission, Katie pleads with her mother to "let her go."
The cast includes Mary Ann Hay*, Julia Miller, Lauren DeVore, and David Sitler* (*member of Actors Equity Association).
The Dover Little Theatre is located at 9 Elliot Street in Dover, New Jersey.
