Performance Date: 2/22/2011, 7:30 pm
Our first Readers Theatre of 2011 is also going to be our first performance in our new venue! We are very excited about appearing on the Red Stage at FROM SCRATCH, a truly a unique and amazing food experience that you can find at 677B South Railway St. S.E. Check them out for lunch or dinner anytime; your host China Loughlin will make you feel at home whenever you drop by. She has a great line-up of entertainment booked for you.And FUT is on that line up starting on Tuesday, February 22 with Shirley Valentine.
Shirley Valentine is a one-character play by Willy Russell. An hilarious monologue by a middle-aged, working class Liverpool housewife, it focuses on her life before and after a holiday abroad that changes her way of thinking about herself. Mrs. Joe Bradshaw is the former adventurous vibrant Shirley Valentine longing to get out. Her hopes and self-confidence shattered by school, marriage and life, she is reduced to talking to the kitchen wall while preparing her husband’s evening meal. Shirley dreams of drinking a glass of wine in a country where the grape is grown as she fries up his ‘chips and egg’. Out of the blue, her ‘feminist’ friend offers her a holiday in the sun. With great trepidation and a heck of a lot of soul searching, Shirley finally seizes the opportunity and flies off for a fortnight in the Greek Islands! Once there she finds the love, joy, wonder and passion she left behind in her youth.

Have supper first if you like, and then enjoy this wonderful story. Our readers productions are stripped-down, un-staged, and maybe a bit more intimate than what you are used to. The experience is between the performers, the audience, and the playwright's words. All this happens at 7:30 pm at FROM SCRATCH. Tickets are only $5.00 and are available at the door.
