Next week kicks off the tenth year of our staged reading series, Ubu’s Other Shoe, with our first show of the season: The Young Man from Atlanta. Wow. Time flies when you’re doing great theatre, huh? To celebrate this milestone, Artistic Director Michael Siebrass has planned an amazing season of eight award-winning plays; a representative sample of American theatre over the past 70 years, all performed by some of the most talented actors on the Central Coast. If you’ve never been to one of our staged reading productions, NOW is the time! CLICK HERE to read about each and every award-winning play.

Join us for a “talk back” with the cast after Tuesday night’s staged reading

From the Oscar-winning screenwriter of To Kill a Mockingbird and Tender Mercies comes this 1995 Pulitzer Prize-winning play called “an American original” by Variety. In The Young Man From Atlanta, a kind of elected ignorance has skewed the past and narrowed the future for Lily Dale and Will Kidders. When their son’s death shatters the illusion of their perfect “American Dream” life, they are forced to find a way to live in this new reality, without their son and without their illusions.

“Here is a simple, immensely satisfying play, crafted with elegance, alive with feeling, holding a mirror up, if not to nature, at least to the next best thing, our concept of nature. Not to be missed.” —NY Post.
