American Theater Group (ATG) in partnership with Union County Performing Arts Center’s Free Play Reading Series resumes with “The Unwitting Magician,” a unique theatrical and magical one-night-only experience.
A lone actor steps onto a bare stage—armed with little more than a music stand and a sealed manila envelope. Inside: a script they have truly never seen, its contents a complete mystery. The actor has no idea what sort of play or theatrical experience may unfold.
As the actor reads the script to the audience, he (or she) is swept into a whirlwind of impossible feats and playful surprises, becoming an unwitting magician and inviting the audience to question who is truly in control—the performer, the script, or something more magical still?
Join us for this special piece currently in development. Created by Jeremy Dobrish, a director, playwright, artistic leader, creative director, and teacher whose focus has been developing and directing new plays and musicals. He has directed at Second Stage, MCC, Joe’s Pub, The Promenade, The Variety Arts, The Century, Actor’s Playhouse, etc. His productions have received several Lortel and Drama Desk nominations. This performance will feature Stacey Linnartz (“Our Town”/ATG, “Life Sucks”/”Wheelhouse,” “God of Vengeance”/Barrow Group). A Q&A with the playwright and actor will follow the event.
The event is free, but registration is required. Register for your free tickets today!
